Is there a way to find out, from within a running C# console application,
whether its standard output has been redirected to a file?  (Without
dropping down into Win32?)

Hi MC,

In .Net I think you are out of luck. Using Win32 I detected a change in
handle value when piping to file or not using the Kernel32 methods
GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE) and CreateFile("CON", ...).

Happy Coding!
