I have an ASP.NET project. I can turn on debugging informations in the aspx files with a page directive like <%@ Debug="true" %>

If there are errors in the inline code in that aspx page, then the debugging messages help me find them. But most of the code lives in a codebehind file, which is also specified in the page directive <%@ src="file.cs" %>. I want to have the same debugging information to find errors in my codebehind file. I can't put the page directive in the C# file. Turning on debugging for the entire application works, but I would like to be able to do it on a file-by-file basis.

Do you know how?

Thanks in advance.

Are you using visual studio?

I'm not using visual studio.

Also, you should know, this is an "all or nothing" situation. You can not have one page that runs without Debugging and one pages the does in the same assembly.

Also, ONLY use debugging in a development environment as it requires far more overhead from the server and can cause preformance problems in general. Always move applications to a production server with debugging turned off.

I don't know what it means for two pages to be "in the same assembly". Could you elaborate?

It certainly _is_ possible to have two pages next to each other, one with debugging turned on, one without, if they use inline asp code (inside <script runat="server"> tags). I don't know if this contradicts what you said though, since I don't know whether these pages are in the same assembly.

So the upshot is this: you can't both use codebehind/codefiles and also have per file debugging policy at the same time. Have I understood that correctly?

Thanks
