Question

I need to capture the event when my application is trying to write something on console.

Console.WriteLine("Any text");

Is it possible to get the text sent to console output in an event or method?

One approach would be to create a new stream override, as shown in this article:

Then, you would need to set this as the stream that Console writes to, e.g.

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
ProgressStream progressStream = new ProgressStream(ms);
Console.SetOut(new StreamWriter(progressStream));

Then use the events of the progress stream to see when it is written to.
