c# - Debug.WriteLine shows nothing

Question

When using

using System.Diagnostics;

and

Debug.WriteLine("Test");

having run the application, no "Test" can be seen in output. But if I use the msgbox function instead, the msgbox pops up, so the line is reached.

Am I looking in the wrong window or what do I have to change?

I am using VC# Express.

On Menu > tools > options > debugging > General:

• Ensure "Redirect all output window text to the immediate window" is NOT checked

On Project Properties > Build:

• Configuration: Debug
• "Define DEBUG constant" is checked
• "Define TRACE constant" is checked

On the Output window:

• Show output from: Debug
• Right-click in the output window and ensure "Program output" is checked
