How do I debug apsx pages?

[David Thielen]

Hi;

I'm sure it's a simple answer but I can't find it. How do I debug an aspx
file? Is there some way to step through the processing of it?

Hi dave,

Thanks for your post!

I am not sure what code in aspx page you wanted to debug.

For server-side Asp.net code, we can just place break-point in the aspx
page, VS.net debugger will recognize this and stop in the aspx code.

Regarding client javascript code in aspx page, we should do some
configuration in the browser, the KB below documented the detailed steps:
"How to debug client-side script in Visual §³# .NET or in Visual C# 2005"

Hope this helps!

Hi;

An example would be this:
<td><%# Eval("Vendor") %></td>

What if it displays nothing and I think it should have a value? How can I
step through the evaluation it makes to get the value for this cell?

I would setup a temporary method consuming the databinding event where you
can use the Trace.Write method to echo the values retrieved in the dataitem
object exposed by the eventargs parameter that is passed to that method.
(You need to set Trace="true" on the page directive)

Trace=true is what I was looking for - this is very useful - I didn't know
about it.
