Debugging for ASP.NET Applications

To enable debugging in the project properties

In Visual Studio 2005, use the <Project> Property Pages to set project properties for Web application debugging by doing the following:

• Open the Property Pages by right-clicking the project name in Solution Explorer, and selecting Property Pages.
• Click the Start Options tab.
• Under Debuggers, make sure the ASP.NET box is selected.

To enable debugging in the web.config file

• <compilation> tag. This marks the beginning of the <compilation> section.
• Inside the <compilation> tag, you will create the debug attribute.
• Attributes are case sensitive, so be sure to specify "debug", not "Debug" or "DEBUG."
• Set debug to true.
