Disable traces in debug mode visual studio 2013

Question

I have a lot of traces in my application and it takes a long time to start in debug mode. Is there anyway to disable tarces in visual studio 2013 ? thanks

Answer 1

Not sure if this is what you are looking for (I don't quite understand what traces you are trying to disable), but you can filter the messages that are shown in the output window (while in Debug mode, right click in Output window):

If this is not it, can you let me know more about your scenario? Do you happen to have a lot of exceptions?

Thanks!

If you want to

1. Supress both Trace & Debug message from whole application then at application startup use

   Trace.Listeners.Clear();

2. Supress only Trace message from whole application then in project properties page in build tab. Remove TRACE symbol from conditional compilation TextBox

3. Use #undef TRACE or #undef DEBUG at top line in *.cs file to supress trace or debug message from that *.cs file only.
