I’m writing an application that makes use of the debug class to write to the VS Output screen.
Only that I would like to clean the contents of this screen through my code, because after a while it gets very polluted. This is possible and recommended (because I find it strange not to have a clear method for this class)?

// Import EnvDTE and EnvDTE80 into your project
using EnvDTE;
using EnvDTE80;
protected void ClearOutput()
{
DTE2 ide = (DTE2)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("VisualStudio.DTE.12.0");
ide.ToolWindows.OutputWindow.OutputWindowPanes.Item("Debug").Clear();
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(ide);
}

You get by Marshal and restricted to the version of the VS you are using, but this practice does not make much sense, if the goal is log, there are several other more streamlined alternatives. Especially when deploying your application it should be compiled in Release mode, not debug.
