riddled with console messages

[rodchar]

hi all,
i have a console app that takes care of a process that involves several
steps. And at each of those steps i report to the console that status of the
process. So I have all these System.Console statements thru out all my
classes.

Is there a better way to manage these messages? better design pattern?

thanks,
rodchar

Do you NEED them to go to the console, or are they there fore debugging? If
you are using them for debugging use

System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine instead, and look in the Output window in
VS.

Yup: use log4net.
