This is a very handy tip for every developer incase you want to save content from the output window to a text file. During debugging many time we refer the content of Visual Studio Output Window ( either it is a debug, build etc. options), and may consider to save them for future reference or share across developer. Most of the time developers seems to be copy and pasting the content to a text file.  Here is a quiets way to avoid copy past and save the content directly.

Follow these steps:

  • Set the focus to the Output Window
  • From the main menu navigate to  File –> Save Selected Items (Ctrl + S) or Save Output As.     

To save the content directly in to a text file.
