I'm doing a windows form application. I want to get information from console. I found this code:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System;

[DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError=true)]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
static extern bool AllocConsole();

private void Form_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     Console.WriteLine("Test");
}

Console is opening, but I couldn't see any output. I also tried System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(string message) and System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(string message). What should I do?

You want to read whats in the console? Or you just want to display the console? – maccettura May 02 '18 at 19:01
Use a logging framework. [Log4Net](https://logging.apache.org/log4net/), [NLog](http://nlog-project.org/) etc – Remus Rusanu May 02 '18 at 19:02

Is it a console app that opens Forms? That is also possible. – Jim W May 02 '18 at 19:03
When do you call `AllocConsole`? Since you are writing to the console in the Form Load event, I assume you aren't allocating the console until later? – Ron Beyer May 02 '18 at 19:04
You can change the solution from a Windows application to a Console application. This will open a console and your form. – Blake Thingstad May 02 '18 at 19:04
