Redirect Trace output to Console

You can add the following to your exe’s .config file.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
    <system.diagnostics>
        <trace autoflush="true">
            <listeners>
                <add name="logListener" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" initializeData="cat.log" />
                <add name="consoleListener" type="System.Diagnostics.ConsoleTraceListener"/>
            </listeners>
        </trace>
    </system.diagnostics>
</configuration>

I included the TextWriter as well, in case you’re interested in logging to a file.
