Pull the stream in Debug.Write ()

Question

I am running a command line utility using Process.Start . For debugging purposes, I would like to have my output stream in the Visual Studio Debug Output panel ( Debug.Write ). I would like to do this in real time, and not wait for the process to complete and then expose all of this.

I know that this is possible in theory, but I'm not experienced with the Stream object to know how to do this.

It may not be exactly what you want, but, in my opinion, it leads you on the right path.

 p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true; p.OutputDataReceived += p_OutputDataReceived; p.Start(); p.BeginOutputReadLine(); 

Then your event handler to retrieve the data.

 void p_OutputDataReceived(object sender, DataReceivedEventArgs e) { Debug.Write(e.Data); }
