Is there a way to use Debug.WriteLine in a release build without defining DEBUG?

You can now debug your release build application. To find a problem, step through the code (or use Just-In-Time debugging) until you find where the failure occurs, and then determine the incorrect parameters or code.
Definition. Writes information about the debug to the trace listeners in the Listeners collection.
By default, Debug includes debug information in the compiled files (allowing easy debugging) while Release usually has optimizations enabled. As far as conditional compilation goes, they each define different symbols that can be checked in your program, but they are language-specific macros.
Diagnostics. Debug. WriteLine will display in the output window ( Ctrl + Alt + O ), you can also add a TraceListener to the Debug.
No, but you can use the Trace in release by defining TRACE and using Trace.WriteLine. Have a look here:

No. If you don't define the DEBUG preprocessor symbol, any calls to Debug.* will be removed by the compiler due to the [Conditional("DEBUG")] attribute being applied.
You might want to consider Trace.WriteLine or other logging techniques though.
