How do you run a console application in the Visual Studio output window, instead of opening a new command prompt?

Question

I'm developing a simple console application in Visual Studio 2008 and want to run it in the output window inside Visual Studio 2008, instead of having a separate command prompt window come up. Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

If you run the console app in the post build step it's output will go to the output window. The inability to do this easily has been on of my biggest peeves with VS (any version)

Answer 2

ctrl + F5似乎在调试菜单中“无需调试启动”。

Answer 3

Does it actually have to be a console application? If you make it a WinForms app (even though it doesn't create any GUI elements) you'll get the console output in the Output window. However, you then can't read from console input, and obviously you won't get any output at all if you run from a real command line or in explorer. For simple test applications this may be fine, of course!

Answer 4
