[...] After staring at the Sql Profiler, I still needed more information. Why was a select being done on my entire database? Where was this coming from? That led me back to my DataContext which was generated from my Linq To Sql designer. The DataContext has a great feature – “Log”. It’s a property right off of the context which accepts a TextWriter.

Some great tips, thanks! I’ll definitely make use of some of these. One small addition that you could include is logging to the ASP.NET response output stream: http://dotnet.org.za/hiltong/archive/2008/07/16/displaying-linq-to-sql-s-actual-sql-queries-in-your-asp-net-page.aspx
