Re: How to debug a web appplication?

I should have added that local debugging usually is just as good
as remote debugging, so give it a try on your development machine.

re:

You mean remote debugging.

Yes, but it involves manipulating the server
( installing Visual Studio server-side components on it )

See :
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cx6214f0.aspx

The problem for you, of course, is that since you're on shared hosting,
it's highly unlikely that your hoster will agree to installing anything on the server.

I've put output logic in the global.asax but this isn't giving me enough information. Plus, as
I'm using shared hosting I have virtually no access to the server to perform any monitoring.

Here's a simple walkthrough for debugging basics :

For deeper understanding, you'd do well to familiarize yourself with this material :

Hi

I have implemented the ASP.NET Club Site Starter Kit on my 1&1 web
space.
I have recently been getting some errors where the page doesn't load
and just comes up blank. I have put a handler on Application_Error in
global.asax to email me whenever an error occurs. Sometimes I get upto
100 in an hour which is rather concerning.

I have looked at the error message returned but I can't seem to work
out what's causing the error.

How can I debug the application to track down the error? I have quite
a bit of experience with VB.NET so I understand the concept of break
points and stack traces but it all seems a bit scary when it's on the
web.

I have included the code I have in my global.asax and the error message
I get at the bottom of this post. Should I try running the app on
local host or is there some sort of component or change I can make
somewhere to track down the error online?

Note: I didn't write the error notification code. Theres a line which
logs to an event log. Would it help if I un-comment this and see what
that does?

Regards, Carl Gilbert
