Reading Trace Information
Whether you choose to view trace information appended at the end of an ASP.NET page or in the trace viewer, the information displayed is the same. ASP.NET organizes the trace information in a series of tables that provide diagnostic information about the request that you are viewing.
Trace information appears in the following order once you have enabled tracing for a page or application.
