Trace. axd is an Http Handler for . Net that can be used to view the trace details for an application. This file resides in the application's root directory.

Tracing appends diagnostic information and custom tracing messages to the output of the page and sends this information to the requesting browser. Optionally, you can view this information from a separate trace viewer that displays trace information for every page in an ASP.NET Web application.

Trace. axd in the root of your application. For example, if the URL for your application is http://localhost/SampleApplication, navigate to http://localhost/SampleApplication/trace.axd to view the trace information for that application.

How to enable Trace:

pageOutput="false" requestLimit="500"
mostRecent="true" traceMode="SortByTime"/>
