Console.WriteLine does nothing
So i am away from my PC for a bit, and so i moved to my laptop to code there for a few days.
However, for some reason the same project that i was working on works on my laptop, but just Console.WriteLine does nothing anymore.
It also is not the IDE that is the problem. In fact, i could even open the project in my cmd and run
dotnet run and all the Console.WriteLine() do nothing.
In order to actually see something i e.g. have to use MessageBox.Show("hello world")

as you can see, Line 16 didnt print anything in the console.
However, (line 17) MessageBos.Show did infact show
MAUI? WPF?
Those usually don't have a console window associated with them
WPF
but the thing is, it worked on my other PC XD
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i know thats something you dont want to hear lol, as a programmer
All I can say is it shouldn't have worked lol
Debug.WriteLine() maybewhy do you want to print to console?
That's also a good question
I want to debug stuff, but i dont want to constantly get stopped by the breakpoint.
If i find something, i want to be able to read the terminal and check if a method ran or not
Use the debugger instead
you can use conditional breakpoints
no need to "break" on every breakpoint
Ah, I had the message pre-written and jumped the gun lol
they can be used to print to output
assuming Rider has conditional breakpoints like VS
Sure does
lol
then i am so confused why it worked in the first place
VS magic?
like so
they are very powerful, and there is never (well probably sometimes) a need to produce debug code
