I'm working with an interesting coding environment that has unmanaged code, managed code, and C#. I have a GUI written in C#, and the associated console outputs stuff using unmanaged code that I don't really have access too. I was wondering if there is a way to read in the console to a text box in my GUI, or something like that? Basically just need access to the text in the console.

(One solution I tried was writing it to a text file, then reading it in, but its doesn't like that, because it is constantly writing)

Any help is appreciated!

Your unmanaged code is in a DLL or EXE? – leetibbett Jun 22 '16 at 18:42

@Mong Zhu, thank you for posting, but I did not have luck with that code – K. Don Jun 22 '16 at 18:52
Without access to the code, how did you write it to a text file? – leetibbett Jun 22 '16 at 18:56
I have access to it, but I'm not supposed to be editing it, and its complex because its a massive project and way too much to convert from console to text – K. Don Jun 22 '16 at 18:59
Maybe you could get away with redirecting stdout – leetibbett Jun 22 '16 at 19:15
