Hello,

I'm reading about the difference between Debug and Trace classes in the System.Diagnostics namespace. For the Debug, it says the statements using Debug.<method> will be executed when the application is in Debug mode. Does that mean that when in Release mode, the statement's aren't called, or are they stripped from the code when compiled?

Thanks,

Brian Mains

I can't provide a definitive answer on this, but it would make sense that the code isn't stripped out. I imagine it's just that the calls don't actually do anything. When you use Debug.<method> (line WriteLine) the result goes to the debugger output window.

yes somehow, u can try! u can not trace & put break-point in Release mode, it'll be useless!

That's not entirely true. You CAN trace in release compiled code. All trace calls within release compiled code will function. If the application (in web.config) allows tracing, you can go to "trace.axd" at the application root and see trace information for the last X page calls (X is determined/set in the trace node of web.config). Also, if the page itself has "trace=true" in the page directive, you should get the trace information on the page output. So tracing most certainly will work with release code.
