How can I see console output from inside WCF service while debugging?

How might I see the SQL query generated from LINQ to SQL when debugging inside a WCF service? I thought I might just set d开发者_如何学运维ataContext.Log = Console.Out and the SQL would be written to the output/immediate window. It doesn't--is that because I am hosting using IIS? Console.WriteLine("Hello") doesn't even write anything to the output/immediate window.

How do see my console output?

You can try to use System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(), so when you distribute Release app these lines will be stripped out from code.

You may want to write it to a file instead. dataContext.Log takes any TextWriter.

See this comment for a nice way to get a text writer writing to Debug.
