ASP.NET PAGE TRACE Results

Question

Hi I am testing a .NET website with Trace Enabled and everything seems normal, to me, except one thing:

Category    Message      From First(s)      From Last(s)
aspx.page   End Load     4,69992678581181   4,699362

This seems like an extraordinarily large number for 'End Load'.

I am clueless as to how to use a Trace result correctly, so my best (educated) guess, is that a large number in 'End Load' is probably a result of poor memory management?

And, if so, what are some basic guidelines for things to avoid, and things to do?

Thank you -Theo

Answer 1

These numbers have nothing to do with memory management. The give you the number of seconds since some point, i.e:

• From First (s): The elapsed time in seconds since the first trace message was processed. The first trace message appears at the top of the list.
• From Last (s): The elapsed time in seconds between the processing of the current trace message and the preceding trace message.
