    Tool to identify dynamically load user controls

    I'm currently working on a very complicated ASP.Net web application & seem to be wasting a lot of time trying to figure out where I need to make changes to the page as it loads so many different user controls depending on certain conditions. Is there a tool out there that can be used to identify what controls are loaded in a page at a given time? When I say controls I mean user controls, i.e. ascx files.

    I would have thought a combination of stepping through the debugger and using the ASP.NET trace output http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...16(VS.85).aspx would be enough to find what controls are being dynamically loaded on any given page?

    Not saying it is an easy task for a complex website, but just one you have to work logically through.

      Beyond what Dim recommends, not really

      Another technique I have used before with a app that was loading very similar looking controls off over the place was to colour code them (dev copy) and even in some cases put some html in them that would allow me to identify what was loading where and when.
