title: Visual studio equivalent of java System.out
body: <p>What do I use in Visual Studio (C#) to perform the equivalent of Java's <code>System.out.println( /*stuff*/ )</code> ?</p>
  
  <p>Does the output from the command show in the Output window in the IDE?</p>
  
  <p>I have a button on a webpage that calls a service which returns a string. I want to see what's in the string and have tried all the variations below and nothing ever shows up in the output. It also doesn't stop on the breakpoint so I can check if there are any results.  </p>
  
  <pre><code>var service = new OTest.TylerAPI.APIWebServiceSoapClient();
  results = service.OdysseyMsgExecution("&lt;Message MessageType='FindCaseByCaseNumber' Source='APIMessage' ReferenceNumber='1' NodeID='1' UserID='1'&gt; &lt;CaseNumber&gt;T4CV0043212010&lt;/CaseNumber&gt;&lt;/Message&gt;", "NMODYSSEYMETRO");
  System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(results);
  </code></pre>
