ASP.NET Web Applications ASP.NET Trace Functionality
Once you have enabled tracing for your application, each page in the application will execute any page-level trace statements that they contain. However, you can only view these statements and the additional trace information by navigating to the trace viewer application, which is associated with the trace.axd file located in your application’s root directory. For example, if the URL to your application is http://localhost/myapplication, navigate to http://localhost/myapplication/trace.axd to view the trace statistics for that application. The trace.axd file is generated automatically when you enable tracing for an application.
If you have made multiple requests to the application, the trace viewer will list the information for those requests in the order they were made. To view more detailed information about a given request, click the View Details link associated with the request you are interested in.
Once you have clicked View Details, you view the same information that was appended to the page that had tracing enabled for it.
