where to look for the error

[Guoqi Zheng]

On traditional ASP, when there is an error, I can always get an detail error
description and where (which line) the error is.

I am using VS.NET to develope ASP.NET application. I often got some errors
like "Specified cast is not valid." But how can I find out which line the
error is?

Compile your code in DEBUG mode, make sure you're web.config's <compilation
element has the debug="true" element.

In addition to verify that your project is working in debug mode, i find it a very good practice to enable line numbers in the Visual Studio .NET IDE, since it will tell you the line the runtime error ocurred. To enable line numbers go to Tools / Options / Text Editor / Basic (I'm working witrh VB.NET, there is an options folder for every language), and check the Line Numbers option.

Hope This helps
