Is there anyway to transparently redirect the output of the
Debug.WriteLine statement from the Debug window to something else such
as a console or a file?

Thanks

TextWriterTraceListener[] listeners = new TextWriterTraceListener[] {
new TextWriterTraceListener("C:\\debug.txt"),
new TextWriterTraceListener(Console.Out)
};

Debug.Listeners.AddRange(listeners);

Debug.WriteLine("Some Value", "Some Category");
Debug.WriteLine("Some Other Value");

Another note, you can create your own class and inherit from the
TraceListener class to add more functionality to the trace listeners. For
example, you could create a SqlTraceListener that would output to a Sql
Server instead of a stream....just a thought :)
