Adapt console to GUI applications using ConsoleAdapter
Writing to console from a GUI application is a good idea, and it is in fact possible to attach a console to a GUI application. In this article, we will see how that can be done.
// stdafx.cpp : source file that includes just the standard includes
//	DumpConsole.pch will be the pre-compiled header
//	stdafx.obj will contain the pre-compiled type information

#include "stdafx.h"

// TODO: reference any additional headers you need in STDAFX.H
// and not in this file
