When you press Ctrl+F5 you are seeing the outputs of the build, rather than just the console.
Is this just for debugging? For debugging in Visual studio I use lots of breakpoints (Double click the gutter, and it adds a red ball then press F5).
I have I have a logging class that just outputs stuff to a textfile, but this is just for reference rather than debugging.
If you really want console stuff try AllocConsole on MSDN but I've never tried it tho.
