The ITLackey.AjaxTraceConsole project on CodePlex is my latest adventure. The control will output a textarea control with the id set to "TraceConsole." This textarea will display any trace message sent through the ASP.Net AJAX Sys.Debug.trace() command. The control will also verify that debugging is enable and if not will not render itself on the page.

This is a very simplistic control but it does work well for quick AJAX debugging without loading an actual debug session. I am planning on extending this control to support some neat features from the AjaxControlToolKit. The extended control will be released separately to prevent a dependency on the toolkit for simple tracing needs.

You can find the download for the DLL and the source at the CodePlex project site: http://www.codeplex.com/AjaxTraceConsole
