Hey Guys.

Just curious as it might save me some time. Does anyone know if there is a way (already built into the framework) to have everything that shows up in the console(System.Console) window be written to a text/log file? I'm looking for an easy way to bind it.

Thanks.

If you want to do some fancy tricks such as having output appear in the console AND in the log...

Otherwise, it would be just as effective to use program.exe > file to redirect standard output via your command shell.

If you wish to display the output in the console window and redirect it to a file, you can take Dameon's suggestion a step further. Derive a new class from TextWriter or StreamWriter that has two private StreamWriter members (one of which is connected to the console, and the other to your file) and for the Write() method, provide an implementation that writes to both streams.

Daemon I took a quick look at what you said and it seems to be working. I'm going out look into it more and post back. Just have to find the time. Thanks for the replies guys.
