How do you run a console application in the Visual Studio output window, instead of opening a new command prompt?

Question

I'm developing a simple console application in Visual Studio 2008 and want to run it in the output window inside Visual Studio 2008, instead of having a separate command prompt window come up. Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

If you run the console app in the post build step it's output will go to the output window. The inability to do this easily has been on of my biggest peeves with VS (any version)

Answer 2

ctrl+F5 seems to "start without debugging" in the debugging menu.
