Depending on your setting you may want to redirect Output Window messages to the Immediate Window or vice versa. So, if currently your messages go to the Output Window:
Just go to Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> General and check the "Redirect all Output Window text to the Immediate Window" checkbox:
Now some messages will go to the Immediate Window instead of the Output Window:
NOTE: Not all information will be redirected to the Immediate Window. In this example, the results of an Assert are redirected but there is still some system information that is shown in the Output Window as well:

How can I show message on both sides? Cause while debugging is running, output window will not show up. When debugging is done, immediate window will not show up...the design is so dumb...Anonymous

Hi Jack, With any solution open in Solution Explorer you will always have access to the Output and Immediate windows either during design or debug mode. Just go to Debug | Windows | [Immediate or Output] Window on your menu bar to see the window of your choice. ZAnonymous
