Trace.axd not created

[kpg]

In the webConfig file I set Trace enabled=true, Pageoutput=false
but I don't get a Trace.axd in my application root.

If I turn pageoutput=true then I see the trace info on the page.

???

I created an empty trace.axd, just in case it needed a file to
be present, but it stays empty.

As Brock Allen once said in microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet

Trace.axd is a implementation of IHttpHandler -- it's a class that
handles requests for trace.axd but doesn't require a file on the file
system. Check out the <httpHandlers> configuration element in the
machine.config (v1.1) or root web.config (v2.0).

Yes, thanks. Got it.
