title: .NET Core 2.2 WebAPI logging something
body: <p>I have a basic WebAPI .NET Core 2.2 project and I'm trying to log something:</p>
  
  <pre><code>// GET api/values
      [HttpGet]
      public ActionResult&lt;IEnumerable&lt;string&gt;&gt; Get()
      {
          System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("THIS IS A TEST");
          System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("THIS IS A TEST");
          return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, nothing shows up in my output or console. I'm using Visual Studio Code. This is my first .NET project so don't hesitate to ask any questions, I'm super responsive.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong>
  I just downloaded <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/debugview" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DebugView</a> and I'm able to see things that I log. Still looking for an alternative solution that doesn't rely on downloading a tool as logging is pretty basic.</p>
