.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / June 2007logging debug messages
How do I display debug messages from a Win32 application project (visual studio c++). I'd like to print the messages in the output window of visual studio > How do I display debug messages from a Win32 application project > (visual studio c++).

You can then write the output of the Debug class wherever you like.

I remember a while back there was a simple function like DebugMessage or LogMessage or something like that, which just wrote the input to the console window of the visual C debugger... is there still something like that available? >I just have a simple console application written in C... is there a >simpler way to do this?

I don't understand your question. Your original post, to me, implied that you had debug messages already in the Output window, and you wanted to display them somewhere else (like print them, for example). While OutputDebugString() works in some contexts, it's not the .NET way to do things. There is a perfectly good, just-as-easy-to-use Debug class that is available in .NET. If you are simply trying to find out how to get messages to the Output window in the first place, then Debug.Write() and Debug.WriteLine() are what you want. I cannot imagine anything being simpler. OutputDebugString() certainly is no simpler (though it's not much more complicated either). If you then also want those messages logged elsewhere somehow, you can add a TraceListener to the Debug.Listeners collection. Perhaps you don't need this, but if you do it's simple to add. Assuming you are using the .NET Debug class in the first place, of course. Pete > While OutputDebugString() works in some contexts, it's not the .NET way to > do things.

But there is no .NET Debug class available to an MFC program! -- David > But there is no .NET Debug class available to an MFC program! So? The OP never said anything about MFC, and this is a .NET Framework programming newsgroup. You are grossly mistaken if you are reading this newsgroup for information about MFC programming topics.

Look at the newsgroups that the thread is posted to. -- David > Look at the newsgroups that the thread is posted to. Yes? You'll note that one of them is the microsoft.public.dotnet.framework newsgroup. Just because someone can't be bothered to not cross-pollute newsgroups, I'm expected to only answer if my answer pertains to the *other* newsgroup(s) in the list? I don't think so. > Yes?

Your other recent posts make you seem like a decent guy, so I'll cut you a break. I've removed the MFC newsgroup from this answer as you should have done in yours. -- David >> Look at the newsgroups that the thread is posted to. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > I don't think so. Just another example of why cross-posting is almost always a bad idea.  SignatureDavid Wilkinson Visual C++ MVP I second that. Cross posting == cross-confusion.

No he isn't. The OP did a crosspost without follow-up. Hans >> But there is no .NET Debug class available to an MFC program! > >So?
