'How to view System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine output in DbgView?
I have an ASP.net web-site hosted on IIS, and the code calls:
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("test");
Reminder: You use Trace, rather than Debug, because Debug requires a debug build. Whereas Trace always works1
So on the production web-server, i run DbgView
, and i don't see the OutputDebugString messages.
Why am i doing wrong?
The DefaultTraceListener already automatically outputs the messages as OutputDebugString:
By default, the Write and WriteLine methods emit the message to the Win32 OutputDebugString function and to the Debugger.Log method.
What am i doing wrong?
The DefaultTraceListener is the default trace listener. It is added by default. And by default it outputs text as OutputDebugString. For 💩 and laughter, i can try adding it again to the web.config
:
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="false" indentsize="3">
<listeners>
<add name="defaultListener" type="System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener" />
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
But it doesn't help. What am i doing wrong?
I'm running DebugView as an administrator.
I also turned in Capture Global, because some cargo-cult programming says that helps:
But it doesn't help. What am i doing wrong?
