How to get debug statements from a device into the output window
My setup: small laptop (cannot support Hyper-V), Windows Phone (8.1 update 2), Visual Studio 2013 version 12.0... update 4, Corona Cards. I know this last is not Microsoft, but it compiles into C#. But my problem is more basic.
I have built simple apps that run fine on the device. But now I am trying to add a more complex app, and I have trouble debugging because no matter what is wrong (most seem to be the order of variable declaration which is strict here but not in my other environments) I get no output in the Output window of Visual Studio, just a blank screen on my device, so I can only debug through trial and error, adding one function or variable at a time. Even print statements do not show up in my output window. Is there some configuration I have wrong?
Please do not suggest that I get a bigger computer so I can upgrade to Hyper-V. I am retired, building free education games, that is not an option.
Thank you for any help.
