Have a look at the picture. No matter where i put console.writeline, nothing is showing in output. Where could be a mistake? Is something wrong with my output editor or what?

4`Console.WriteLine` writes to the *console*, not to the "Output" window. Use `Debug.WriteLine` instead. – Cody Gray - on strike Jun 04 '17 at 12:32

Windows applications do not typically have console windows. Why do you need one? – Cody Gray - on strike Jun 04 '17 at 12:57

Yeah. Console window is what you get in a CONSOLE application. One that opens a window when you start it (the console) and is typsically a command line app (though you CAN open the console window also in windows apps and just use it for stuff like debugging output= – TomTom Jun 04 '17 at 13:33

Most likely, Eclipse just calls the "Console Window" what Visual Studio calls the "Output Window". As TomTom says, in Windows, a console is what you get when you run the command prompt. – Cody Gray - on strike Jun 05 '17 at 09:18

Use Debug.WriteLine to write to the Output window as you want.

So you have 2 questions instead of one: your main one and the comment "How can i display console window instead of Output window?"
- You can write to VS output by using Debug.WriteLine. This requires System.Diagnostics namespace.
- You can also run console window alongside with your windows application. Right click the project in Solution Explorer, select Properties, change Output Type to "Console Application" like this.
