Developing Web Applications

Debugging Applications and Components

Debugging can be the most frustrating part of the Web application developer’s job. Unlike desktop applications, which are self-contained, Web applications can be spread over several systems and frequently combine different programming languages and technologies. Although some application errors can be avoided with careful planning, others are unexpected side effects of complex component interactions. Tracking down these problems often requires the use of a variety of debugging and development tools.

This section contains debugging tips for the ASP environment. It also contains information about setting up a debugging environment for ISAPI extensions and server-side components.

For information about common error messages and error logging, see the IIS 5.0 online product documentation.
