Simplifying SharePoint debugging by creating the troubleshooting toolbox | SharePoint Magazine
Debugging in WSS or MOSS is similar to debugging an ASP.NET application but unfortunately debugging custom code in SharePoint isn’t as easy as just pressing F5 from inside Visual studio. While SharePoint provides an excellent platform for developing Web applications, debugging them can be a bit of a pain. In this article I will give you some debugging tips that could make your life easier and will help you deal with the silly “An unexpected error has occurred” screens. Also I will shed the light on some tools provided by the SharePoint community that facilitate the troubleshooting of SharePoint applications and error isolation and accordingly increasing your productivity.
Five main resources are available for you when you experience a problem:
1. Detailed Error Messages
2. Attaching the Visual Studio Debugger to W3WP.EXE
3. SharePoint Trace Logs
4. Windows Event Logs
5. Debug And Trace
