I'm a visual studio newbie, currently developing a game using VS 2010 express, C# and XNA 4.0 .

I'm trying to debug a little game I'm developing, using a Console.WriteLine call when a certain event occur. Unfortunately when I execute the program the visual studio layout changes and the output panel disappear until the program exits (so I can analyze the output only after the program ends).

I would like to know if it possible and how, to keep the output panel visible.

Whilst in Debug mode, simply show it again by going to View->Output
