Did you meant the classes available in C#. If so, as per MSDN: Debug class: Provides a set of methods and properties that help debug your code . Trace class: Provides a set of methods and properties that help you trace the execution of your code . Hope this helps!

Hi, Debug It uses Debug class. It uses in debug build. It uses the time of application development. In Debug mode compiler inserts some debugging code inside the executable. Debug class works only in debug mode. Performance analysis cannot be done using Debug. Debugging uses to find error in program. For Debug we can use Debug.Write() method. Debug runs in same thread as main program execute. Trace It uses Trace class. Trace statement includes by default when program compiled into released build. Trace class is used for testing and optimization even after an application is compiled and released. Trace class works in both case Debug mode as well as release mode. Trace runs in different thread form main program execute thread. For Trace we can use Trace.Write() method. It uses time of application deployment.
