Turning Off Quick Console in VB.NET 2005 Express

Turning Off Quick Console in VB.NET 2005 Express

• Kent Boogaart

  Okay the options page must be not included with the Express versions.
  
  You can set it using the registry:
  
  Set the following value to 0:
  
  HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Debugger\UseConsoleWindow

  Visual Basic Express does not support Debug options and that is why you don't see the Debug Options page. However, turning-off the Quick Console and routing it to the regular console window is something we'd like to support. We could not get to adding this feature in Beta2, but have already done it for the final release. You will be able to turn off the quick console window through the Debug menu.
  
  In Beta2, you'll notice the black console window and the quick console window both show up when you debug your application. It might help to dock the quick console window (which by default is not docked). When the quick console window shows up in debug mode, right-click on it's title bar and select dockable. Then drag it to the location you'd like to dock it. From then on, it'll continue to stay there. I hope that helps for now.
  
  Please let me know if there are any other concerns you have.

  Hello:
  
  Um... there isn't a "Debug" category in my Option window. I'm using Express Beta 2. Is that the reason then

  Update: the re-installation does not bode well. I was using the feature blamelessly in beta 1 and it seems to have disappeared in beta 2. Is that a built-in feature or did I install it incorrectly Any suggestion would be fine.

  Try and see what happens if you create the key and value anyway. It might still try to read from there.

  Hello:
  
  If you're referring to the "Show all settings" check-box at the bottom left, it is checked. But still I'm only seeing "Environment", "Projects and Solutions", "Text Editor", "Database Tools" and "Windows Forms Designer" somehow.
  
  I've installed other Express IDEs as well and I wonder if there could be a conflict of some sort. Anyway, thanks in advance for your time.

  I have c# .net, and the option is there Perhaps VB is different - I thought the idea of vs these days was to get it all under one roof rather than the days of vs 6.0 (good times) where each was a standalone app.
  
  Apart form Interdev. But I never did get what that was about.

  Hmmm... doesn't work. Is this feature blocked in express editions I wonder Anyway, I'll reinstall to see if it helps. Thanks.

  It's Debugging not Debug. Also check to see if there is an checkbox on the bottom right hand corner of the Options dialog that hides most of the options.

  1. Choose Tools -> Options
  2. Expand Debugging -> General
  3. Uncheck Redirect all console output to the Quick console window.
