It can often be difficult to display information in ASP.NET because System.Diagnostics, Response.Write, or the Trace object are not available - for example, when you are working in the global.asax or inside a class.
A simple way to display what lines are executing and what information is in a given field is by creating a simple WriteLog() method in a class in the App_Code folder. Then, when you want to display the contents of a field anywhere in your program, you just use:
C#:
clsWriteLog.WriteLog("strXyz: " + strXyz);
VB.NET:
clsWriteLog.WriteLog("Line 203 executed")
You have two ways to view what is written to the log:
1. While in Visual Studio, you look at trace.log file in your root directory.
2. While in the website, you type http://www.yourwebsitename.com/trace.log
You can download the few lines of code for the class clsWriteLog at clsWriteLog . The code for the class is provided in vb.net and c#.
