A standard debugging tactic when developing Active Server Pages (ASP) is to use Response.Write statements to display troubleshooting information to the screen. With the release of Visual Studio .NET and its accompanying step-through debugger this practice has (thankfully) become obsolete in ASP.NET. However, once an application is deployed to a web server the debugger cannot be used without installing Remote Debugging, a practice frowned upon by system administrators due to security issues. One way to bridge this gap is to use a built-in .NET tool called Tracing.
