How to do debug a web-service?

[d00ape]

How may I do the “old” cout << “This happens-debug” << endl;
To se what’s happen when a WebService is called. Is there any trace-file I can write to?

Thanks

if it's a webservice you wrote, you can simply add it as a project to your sollution and add checkpoints to it

checkpoints? - I may be stupid...

 

[DaZZleD]

Ok, thanks! Thats one good thing.

Do you know if I could write to som trace-line in Visual Studio. Like System.out.println("DEBUG"); // In Java ?

 

[DaZZleD]

use Message.Show("message");

 

[DaZZleD]

use MessageBox.Show("message");

OK thanks. It seams like I have to make some kind of setting du to this error:

System.InvalidOperationException: It is invalid to show a modal dialog or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application.
at System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.ShowCore(IWin32Window owner, String text, String caption, MessageBoxButtons buttons, MessageBoxIcon icon, MessageBoxDefaultButton defaultButton, MessageBoxOptions options)
at System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(String text)

Suggestions?

Web Services and ASP.NET won't use the Windows stuff necessary to display a dialog.

You CAN, however, use Debug.WriteLine, Trace.WriteLine, etc. which can write to the Output window (or page/trace.axd file) in VS.NET.

You're looking for the System.Diagnostics namespace.

Here's a good tutorial to get you started:
