If you have enabled tracing for your application, when any page is requested, the page gathers trace information and executes any trace statements that it contains. You can view the trace output in the trace viewer. The trace viewer enables you to choose a specific request from the pages that have been requested from your application.

An AXD file is a file used by ASP.NET applications for handling embedded resource requests. It contains instructions for retrieving embedded resources, such as images, JavaScript (.JS) files, and.CSS files. AXD files are used for injecting resources into the client-side webpage and access them on the server in a standard way. What is the.AXD file type? Every day thousands of users send us information about programs they open different file formats with. At this moment we do not have any description or further details of the AXD file type, but we may be able to recommend some programs that will be able to open such files. A file handler that provides a standard way to inject embedded content requests in to the client-side web request. These files are typically named 'WebResource.axd' and can be enabled when building the web application or web page by changing the web resource value in AssemblyInfo.cs or AssemblyInfo.vb (depending on the language you are using to develop).
When you enable tracing for an application, you can display trace output in any page in the application by setting the pageOutput attribute of the trace element to true in the Web.config file.
If multiple requests have arrived for an application that has tracing enabled, the trace viewer lists the requests in the order in which they were processed. The information on the opening page of the trace viewer includes the time of the request, the file requested, the status code of the request, the HTTP verb associated with the request, and a View Details link that enables you to see more information about the request. The number of requests available will not exceed the requestLimit setting that you specified in the Web.config file.
The following screen shot shows a trace viewer that has had seven requests to its application since tracing was enabled.
Trace viewer
To view trace details for a specific request
Navigate to Trace.axd in the root of your application.
For example, if the URL for your application is http://localhost/SampleApplication, navigate to http://localhost/SampleApplication/trace.axd to view the trace information for that application.
Select the View Details link for the request that you want to investigate.
To clear requests from the trace viewer
Navigate to Trace.axd in the root of your application.
Select the clear current trace link to remove all the requests stored in the trace viewer.
Note
If the mostRecent attribute of the trace element is false, then the trace viewer tracks requests only up to the number of requests defined by the requestLimit attribute. In that case, you cannot view requests made after the request limit is reached. Alternatively, you can set the mostRecent attribute to true so that the most recent tracing data is shown and older tracing data that exceeds the limit defined by the requestLimit attribute is discarded.
