Writing messages with Debug.Write in VS2012?

Question

I am using the following in my C# code:

System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write("xxx");

But when I look in the output window I cannot see anything even though my code does execute this line.

Is this the correct way to write messages that I can see in the VS2012?

Is the writing of messages immediate or does it have to be flushed? — , Feb 08 '13 at 06:43

OR

Debug.Write calls may not display in the output window if you have the Visual Studio option "Redirect all Output Window text to the Immediate Window" checked under the menu

Tools > Options > Debugging > General.

To display "Tools > Options > Debugging", check the box next to "Tools > Options > Show All Settings".

Debugging

Hi, Vishal. I don't have that button checked. – Feb 08 '13 at 06:43
Do you have `DEBUG` build flag set.? – Vishal Suthar Feb 08 '13 at 06:47
So that's may be the cause, so please change it to `Debug` and check. – Vishal Suthar Feb 08 '13 at 06:56
