ASP.NET Troubleshooting and Debugging

ASP.NET includes features to help you diagnose problems that might arise in your Web application. These include:

A debugger that you can use to step through a page or component as it is running.
Techniques for avoiding errors and capturing information when they do occur.
Tracing page requests and gathering information about each step of page processing.
Raising and responding to health monitoring events, which can log information about performance and error conditions.

The topics in this section describe each of these troubleshooting features.
