Debug.WriteLine Doesn't Produce Output

I'm using Visual Basic 2005 Express. When I use the command
Debug.WriteLine("Testing"), nothing appears on the output window.

I searched the newsgroups and found this problem reported twice, but in
both cases the solution seemed to apply to Visual Studio, and not
Visual Basic Express.

Can anyone tell me how to get the problem fixed in VB 2005 Express?

Just a thought, did you check the immediate window?

Chris,

Thank you. The Immediate window was the answer.

(Because the Immediate window wasn't an option under the View menu, I
assumed it didn't exist in VB2005. Now I know to look for it under the
Debug menu.)

If you go to Tools-->Options -->Debugging -->General

uncheck Redirect all output window text to immediate window
