debugging SSIS packages - debug.writeline

Question

The debugging experience in SSIS is not what I am expecting.

I have a script Task that I have added a Imports System.Diagnostics at the header of the class, and in the code I have various debug.writeline ("Attemtpting to move file") type messages.

But, they are not displaying in the output window.

Am I missing something?

Use Dts.Events.FireInformation instead.
