I'm not sure of the exact differences but I do know what an debug statements are not included in the "Release" build so they can be put in and left in without them affecting the "Release". Trace statements are included in both "Debug" and "Release" builds

Hi,

In addition to chris's comments you can also use trace to direct
output to the eventlog or a textfile with a trace listener.

yes you can output the trace to an evenlog. But notis that the eventlog won't understand which traceswitch level your trace had. The Eventlog will display all of your trace outputs as information.
