Default key mapping is Ctrl + W,O

Or do View menu -> Output window

There is also an immediate window which let's you execute statements, like ?myVal and it will tell you the value. It can be found at Ctrl+D,I or Debug->Windows->Immediate

That's a console window`, and you open it with AllocConsole. See all of the Console Functions at MSDN.

  • Thank you very much for your help. But could you please be a little bit more helpful? Should I just call AllocConsole() and it is going to create the black screen and the output when I cout? Because if so, it doesnt work or I do it wrong. Thank you very much in advance. – Sammy May 05 '11 at 18:30

Do not hesitate, install on your Visual Studio the Open Command Line extension. You can see how easy is to open a new cmd console on the picture below:

This is an old question but since it is not answered: For Visual Studio 2017 under menu Tools->Nuget Package Magager->Package Manager Console
