:language_std_outputs: Console

== Why is this an issue?

include::../description.adoc[]

=== Exceptions

The rule doesn't raise an issue for:

* Console Applications
* Calls in methods decorated with `[Conditional ("DEBUG")]`
* Calls included in DEBUG preprocessor branches (``++#if DEBUG++``)

=== Code examples

The following noncompliant code:

[source,csharp,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
public class MyClass
{
    private void DoSomething()
    {
        // ...
        Console.WriteLine("My Message"); // Noncompliant
        // ...
    }
}
----

Could be replaced by:

[source,csharp,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
----

public class MyClass
{
    private readonly ILogger _logger;

    // ...

    private void DoSomething()
    {
        // ...
        _logger.LogInformation("My Message");
        // ...
    }
}
----
