Question

in my global.asax, can I output the current route/action being fired?

this is the debug something.

Answer 1

Global.asax doesn't have access to the response stream, so you cant write on a page directly. You could store the output in the Session, and if it exists, write it to the page in the master page, or you could simply log to a logging service like elmah, or the windows application log.

RequestContext.RouteData.Values

should give you the information you need.

Answer 2

Not without some work. Try plugging in Phil Haack's Route Debugger, it might do what you need and save you some time.
