I have the following line in my code:
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Title:" + title + "title[top]: " + title[top] + "title[sub]: " + title[sub]);
When I debug I see it going to this line, but when I look at the output window in Visual Studio 2010 I don't see anything even though it shows for "Debug" and I ran using "debug > run". Why?
Check following items -
DEBUG
mode is selected while debugging
Debug
option is selected in Output window -
- See if breakpoint is hitting Debug.WriteLine in code
- Insert
Debug.AutoFlush = true
at the beginning of code
- Try checking if Platform for the solution is set to Any CPU and not x86 (or x64).
- Goto Project Properties--> Web - In the Debugger section, check the the ASP.NET option
Reference for Point #5 (Read the comment, It worked for that guy)
For me, this solved the problem:
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("whatever");
(using Trace
instead of Debug
)
In your app.config file, make sure you don't have a <clear/>
element in your trace listeners.
You will effectively be clearing the list of trace listeners, including the default trace listener used for Debug statements.
Here's what this would look like in your app.config file:
<system.diagnostics>
<trace>
<listeners>
<!-- This next line is the troublemaker. If it is there delete it-->
<clear/>
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
For me, I needed to do this to solve the problem:
1. Open the project's property page
2. Under Build tab, check "Define DEBUG constant" and "Define Trace constant"
Voila!
