Is there a way to catch the stdout and stderr in Visual Studio? For example, when I use

cout <<"Hello world!"<< endl;

A black window appears and disappears. It’s so fast that I can’t see it. There is a output section in the IDE but it only allow me to choose display output from build and something else but without the choice of stdout.

A cheating solution maybe calling 

system("pause");

but it doesn’t sound right. I searched in the option but I can’t find an item.

Anyone has any idea? Thanks. I just start to use VS and I’m on Linux before.

    Rather than using the “Start Debugging” command, if you want to check the output, use “Start Without Debugging”. That’s generally how I handle it. The command prompt window will remain up until you close it. If there’s a crash or something, you can always reattach Visual Studio to the process, or just run it with “Start Debugging”.
