How do I activate stack tracing in asp.net

Question

I am new to .net and wanted to know how to activate stack tracing in .net?

Answer 1

You can do that whether in page directive or web.config :

in page directive (in aspx file ) just add Trace="true" Or you can do that in web.config for all the pages

<trace enabled="true" pageOutput="true" requestLimit="10" traceMode="SortByTime" localOnly="true" /> 

enabled property turns tracing on or off

Hope this help

Answer 2

At page level you can do that with the help of

<%@ Page Trace="true".....................................

or you can also enable it from the codebehind in the page load method as Trace.Enabled = true;

Is this what you are looking for?

Answer 3

If you're referring the "Call Stack" window, you can view that when debugging by opening the Call Stack Window using either it's default hotkey of CTRL+ALT+C, or by using the IDE menu of
Debug / Windows / Call Stack

Alternatively, if you're referring to ASP.NET's built-in Tracing capability, whereby the ASP.NET runtime will display diagnostic information about a single request for an ASP.NET page, you can achieve this on a per page basis by adding Trace="true" to the Page directive at the top of the specific page

For example:

<%@ Page Trace="true" Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication1._Default" %>

or you can achieve ASP.NET tracing application-wide, by adding the <trace> directive to the <system.web> section of the web.config file. I.e.

<system.web>
  <trace enabled="true"/>
</system.web>
