Debugging

[Bruce]

I've noticed in recent examples sent to me that there are a bunch of people out there use a variety of techniques for debugging.

A common approach (perhaps because it works so well) is to use debugView.

I thought I should mention, The web server, and web handler classes have a built-in method for debugview support. To write a debug statement to debugview use the _trace method. eg
p_web._trace('hello debugview, bruce was here')

If you don't have debugview yet, you can download it for free from www.sysinternals.com (which is now owned by microsoft.)

Cheers

Bruce,
I am really happy with this.
In it's simplicty Debugview is a very powerfull tool. I use it all the time in my work, programming  JWalk scripts.
The customer doesn't even need to know that there are trace statements in the application because the impact on the application is minimal.

No more message-commands that can be forgotten to remove.

Thanks!!
