Project DescriptionASP.Net AJAX custom control that adds the <textarea id="TraceConsole"> to a page, to allow for easy ASP.Net AJAX debugging during development. This control detects debug and deployment settings and will not render if release scripts are being used.
The ASP.Net 3.5 verrsion of this control is now available. You may also download the ASP.Net 2.0 version using the releases tab. This is a very simple tool that I put together to help with AJAX and Silverlight 1.0 development and thought I might as well share it. If you are new to ASP.Net AJAX development and are unsure of how this control can help in your development tasks please read this article:
http://asp.net/ajax/documentation/live/overview/ASPNETAJAXDebuggingAndTracingOverview.aspx This control is designed to allow for easy AJAX debugging. Simply drop the control on your page and use the Sys.Debug trace functions to output information at client run-time. When deployment is set to retail, debug is set to false in the web.config, or ScriptManager is set to release the control will not render. This allows for easy deployment and development experince. The console simply shows up in debug mode and does not render any markup when in a retail\release deployment. There is no need to change a single line of code when publising a page with the console on it!
Please post any issues or enhancement suggestions in the issue tracker. I look forward to reading your suggestions and comments! So please do post your opinion(s) in the discussions forum, even if its simply "This Sucks!" Though, explaining why it sucks is much more helpful. ;)
