Tracing is enabled by default for both Debug and Release builds.

>From the MSDN documentation:

"In Visual Studio .NET projects, Trace is enabled by default. Therefore,
code is generated for all Trace methods in both release and debug builds.
This allows an end user to turn on tracing to help identify the problem
without the program having to be recompiled. By contrast, Debug is disabled
in release builds by default, so no executable code is generated for Debug
methods. To disable Trace, see the Visual Studio .NET documentation."

I hope this helps some.
