Suppress 3rd party library console output?

Question

I need to call a 3rd party library that happens to spew a bunch of stuff to the console. The code simply like this...

int MyMethod(int a)
{
   int b = ThirdPart

Well you can use Console.SetOut to an implementation of TextWriter which doesn't write anywhere:

Console.SetOut(TextWriter.Null);

That will suppress all console output though. You could always maintain a reference to the original Console.Out writer and use that for your own output.
