Sitecore provides a browser-based debugger which helps to locate problems associated with faulty or slow renderings. The debugger helps developers to analyze the output of both the entire page and individual renderings.

For line-level debugging of code-behind, use the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET debugger.  See http://sdn.sitecore.net/SDN5/Articles/API/Debugging%20Your%20Sitecore%20Code.html for specifics on debugging with Sitecore.

There are multiple ways to access the debugger:

• Choose the Sitecore » Debug application from the Sitecore Desktop interface.
  
  
• Choose Start Debugging from the Debug menu in the DeveloperCenter.
  

The Developer Center Debug menu provides the following options:

• Start Debugging
  Starts the Sitecore Debugger in a new browser.
  
  
• Start in IDE
  Starts the Sitecore Debugger in a DeveloperCenter tab.
  
  
• Stop Debugging
  Stops the debugging process.
  
  
• Profiler
  Starts the Sitecore profiler in a new DeveloperCenter tab.
  
  
• ASP.NET Trace
  Starts the ASP.NET Trace in a new Developer Center Tab. 
  Note: The ASP.NET Trace command requires that the web.config <trace> tag’s "enabled" attribute be set to "true". 
  
  

  <configuration>
      <system.web>
          <trace enabled="true"/>
      </system.web>
  </configuration> 

  
  Please see the Site Attributes section for more details.  

By default, the Debugger starts by debugging the root of the website site.

Start the Profiler by selecting Debug » Profiler from the Developer Center menu.
