a profiler session or a server side trace can catch all commands hitting the server, regardless of the source/application that is calling them.

The events I typically capture are SQL:BatchCompleted, which is SQL commands and RPC:Completed , which are calls to execute stored procedures.

this is a decent server side DML trace model I put together, if you think it can help:

trace_DML_model.txt

glad I could help Ali;

pay attention to the code at the bottom, which is creating a VIEW named sp_MyTrace so you can query the trace any time, with a simple query:

little details like that makes working with traces incredibly easy.

SELECT * FROM sp_MyTrace
