I'm starting to develop a simple application in VS9 and I decided to use WPF and the MVVM paradigm for it.

Still being a bit unexperienced with VS deveopment in general and WPF-controls in peculiar, I would like to ask how I should proceed to establish a little debug console window that takes perhaps 1/4 of the main window and sits kind of docked in the bottom of the window.

I would use it for writing trace or debug messages into it while my application runs or while I'm debugging it in the development phase.

Anyway, what type of control should I use and how do I write to it?

Alternatively I was thinking of using a Console window separately from my WPF application but 
that wouldn't be so desirable, actually.
