Writing C# debug output to .txt file

Question

I'm running code on a microcontroller with .NET Micro Framework, and I want my debug output to write to a text file. How does this work?

Use Trace. It is designed to do what you need.

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;

class Test
{
    static void Main()
    {
       Trace.Listeners.Add(new TextWriterTraceListener("yourlog.log"));
       Trace.AutoFlush = true;
       Trace.Indent();
       Trace.WriteLine("Entering Main");
       Console.WriteLine("Hello World.");
       Trace.WriteLine("Exiting Main");
       Trace.Unindent();
       Trace.Flush();
    }
}
