Any ideas on why my Debug.Print lines stopped working?

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Threading;
using Microsoft.SPOT;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware;
using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware;
using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoPlus;

namespace test1
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            // write your code here
            Debug.Print("test 123");

        }

    }
}

It worked when I initially got my N+, but, no longer. It doesn't work on my regular netduino either.

Ideas?

Hi dman776, Where are you looking for your debug data to print? In the Output window? What if you connect from MFDeploy--does it show up in the window there? Chris

Good call! It does NOT show up in the Output window in VS2010 but it DOES show up in MFDeploy.
any ideas?

Can you post a screenshot of your Netduino app running with the Output window visible--so we can see a snapshot of what's going on?

You can still deploy and debug from Visual Studio, correct?

Yes, deploy and debug work properly with the exception of the Debug.Print().
Screenshot attached.

(And there is no text after the "Ready" line in the window.)

Do you have MFDeploy connected (via F5 or menu Target/Connect) when you are using Visual Studio? If so, you'd need to disconnect MFDeploy (Ctrl+F5) to see the output in Visual Studio window.

[Chris Walker]

Hi Darryl, Are you deploying via a serial port or USB? This may be a bug to report to Microsoft. Very, very odd. Chris

[dman776]

USB. I'll try on a different computer and let you know.

[dman776]

I figured it out! It is showing up in the "Immediate Window" now, not the DEBUG Output window!

[CW2]

I figured it out! It is showing up in the "Immediate Window" now, not the DEBUG Output window!

I see. You should be able to bring the output back to "Output" window by unchecking "Redirect all Output Window text to the Immediate Window" in Options dialog: Tools\Options\Debugging General (if it is checked).

[dman776]

Thanks guys! It's working as expected now. I appreciate the assistance!

[Steve88W]

^bump Thanks guys... was pulling my hair out over such a newbie mistake...

[Chris Walker]

I didn't know one could redirect the Debug output... I love that I can learn something new with Netduino and .NET MF...and then use that new thing in other C# applications as well.
