Bind Console Output to RichEdit

Question

So pretty straightforward question. I have a c# .dll with a whole lot of Console.Writeline code and would like to be able to view that output in a forms application using th

Answer 1

IMO, it would be better to refactor the existing code, replacing the existing Console.WriteLine to some central method in your code, and then repoint this method, presumably by supplying another TextWriter:

private static TextWriter output = Console.Out;
public static TextWriter Output {
   get {return output;}
   set {output = value ?? Console.Out;}
}
public static void WriteLine(string value) {
    output.WriteLine(value);
}
public static void WriteLine(string format, params string[] args) {
    output.WriteLine(format, args);
}

Or (simpler and less hacky re a static field), simply pass a TextWriter into your existing code and write to that?
