Writing to standard output from c# program

Question

I have the following C# code

class Test 
{
    public static void Main(String[] argv) 
    { 
        Console.WriteLine("Hello "); 
    }
}

When I run the program from the command prompt, I do not see output. The c# file name is file.cs and compiles into file.exe.

When I run this from the command prompt:

c:\>file.exe

I do not see any output. But it works if I run this:

c:\>file.exe | more

I understand I need to do something other that console.WriteLine(). Is there any way that I can redirect all Console.WriteLine() calls to standard output?

well it could be a number of issue's but can't tell without seeing your Main section of the code.. please show some relevant code also if you are wanting to pause the console to see the output use Console.Read() or Console.ReadLine() method — MethodMan

Post some code. And as a side note, don't call it a DOS shell or DOS window. Those haven't existed since like Windows 98. Its just called a command window now. — Icemanind

If you could see it with | more option than probably, you have other statements coming to console, causing it to scroll. — Habib

What is your project type? If it's a Windows Forms app, that would explain it. — Jon Skeet

Application type was set to Windows application in Visual Studio project properties. I set the application type to "Console". This fixed the issue. Now all Console.WriteLine statements gets printed to command window.
