How to debug

[Thomas H. Lanier]

I'm trying to learn a little about VS 2008 and ASP.Net.

In trying to duplicate some of Scott Guthrie's examples using the new
LinqDataSource, I'm getting an error.
Input string was not in a correct format.
How would one go about debugging errors that occur with components such as
the LinqDataSource. In particular is there a way to trace the code executed
by a component such as the LinqDataSource?

Thanks

I usually set Visual Studio to break on all exceptions regardless of if
they're handled or not. that way you get an automatic breakpoint the
closest you can get to the actual error.

Maybe it helps.

Absolutely! Surely every serious developer does that...

Are you serious or being sarcatic?

Perfectly serious.

I was pretty serious.

Indeed.
