I have a managed windows service that uses a native C++ dll.

Debugger, IDE, other tools are, unfortunately for you, *off-topic* here
in a *language* newsgroup.

When i'm outputting trace messages from the managed code
(System.Diagnostics.Trace) they are displayed in the output window
just fine,
however i couldn't find any way to do the same from the unmanaged
code.
I tried:
_CrtDbgReport()
ATLTRACE()
OutputDebugString()

none of them worked, the messaged were not displayed in the debugger's
output window.

Your question has nothing to do with the C++ language, the subject of
this newsgroup.

Anyone knows this can be done?

Yes, someone in a Microsoft debugger/IDE forum would. Look on their web
site for "developer tools" (you can start by visiting this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/forums/default.mspx).

Good luck!
