Description: Below are some guidelines that I used to debug Ajaxjavascript using ASP.NET 2.0. Based on the
method I believe that it will work with ASP.NET 2003.
First I must state that for what ever reason, my system, lack of know-how, or beta products, I could
not get the "Script Explorer" to function, any typeof breakpoint to function, and except for some
immediate window sniffing of the DOM, no actual debugging on client-side script or HTML using
ASP.NET 2.0...
I could not give up, so I dug and dug. Tested and retested. Finally taking a technique that I
learned working with DCOM, VB6 and ActiveX "COM" servers, I succeeded in debugging not only the
"javascript", but the "html" as well. I am able to set a breakpoint on a HTML button tag and/or
another one in the javascript, then a third in my code-behind "C#" code. Using this technique I can
step "F11" thru a Ajax or Script RPC call and watcheverything, well almost. Enough of the talk hereis
how.
