INFO: How to Pause ASP Code for Debugging (255886)

MORE INFORMATION

Before debugging server-side code, you need to enable debugging for your site. From the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), right-click the virtual directory, select Properties, and click Configuration. On the App Debugging tab, select Enable ASP server-side debugging.

To debug in JScript, place the DEBUGGER statement before the line of code at which you want to pause; for example:

<%@ Language=JScript%>
<%
	Response.Write("Hello");
	debugger
	Response.Write("World");
%>
				

To debug a script written in VBScript, place the STOP statement before the line of code at which you want to pause; for example:

<%
	Response.Write "Hello"
	Stop
	Response.write "World"
%>
				

When this script is run from a browser, the debugger interrupts the script and displays the .asp file with the statement pointer indicating the location of the DEBUGGER or STOP statement. At this point, you can inspect the values assigned to variables before they are passed to the component.

NOTE: Remember to disable debugging in production servers.
