Often it is very useful to have a console besides the winform/wpf application. And its really easy to :)
Create an available class:

public static class ConsoleEx
{

/// <summary>
/// Shows the Console
/// </summary>
[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
public static extern Boolean AllocConsole();

/// <summary>
/// Hides the Console
/// </summary>
[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
public static extern Boolean FreeConsole();

}

I then use it like this in my Code (WPF App):
public partial class App : Application
{

public App(){

#if DEBUG
ConsoleEx.AllocConsole();
#endif

}

}

You could use this with a Linq DataContext:

MyDataContext.Log = Console.Out;

While we were down in Paris on Imagine Cup, we encountered a big problem. Our server was running live in Oslo (Norway), and the internet connection was too slow to actually load the pages we needed. But it did however; work well in remote desktop as it takes lower bandwidth than a whole website with all the images. Imagine Cup had a firewall blocking just about everything about standard web ports (80,433), so we had to change the default port for Remote Desktop.  

In order to change the Remote Desktops default listening port, you actually need to do a little registry hack.
