Postsharp tracing on/off in runtime?

Can anyone tell me, if in PostSharp, I somehow can turn on/off tracing in runtime? I need to write less code, so lately I could simply remove it. Tracing functionality is temporarily required.

Maybe there's an alternative to PostSharp with runtime on/off feature?

Update 1: I've come up with idea, but I don't know if it's good. Here's an example

    public class Smth
    {
        private long i = 0;

        [TraceAttribute]
        public void Execute()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Execute call" + i++);
            Thread.Sleep(200);
        }
    }

    [Serializable]
    public class TraceAttribute : OnMethodBoundaryAspect
    {
        public override void OnEntry(MethodExecutionArgs args)
        {
            if(Manager.IsEnabled)
            {
                Console.WriteLine();
                Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Entering {0}", args.Method.Name));
            }
        }

        public override void OnExit(MethodExecutionArgs args)
        {
            if(Manager.IsEnabled)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Leaving {0}", args.Method.Name));
                Console.WriteLine();
            }
        }
    }

    public static class Manager
    {
        public static bool IsEnabled { get; set; }

        static Manager()
        {
               IsEnabled = true;
        }
    }

By changing IsEnabled property I was able to turn on/off tracing... Any other suggestions?

What you have is fine (as long as it's temporary). Easily apply the aspect using multicasting. See my articles http://www.sharpcrafters.com/blog/post/Day-2-Applying-Aspects-with-Multicasting-Part-1.aspx and http://www.sharpcrafters.com/blog/post/Day-3-Applying-Aspects-with-Multicasting-Part-2.aspx

Disclaimer: I'm assuming the OP wants to do this without a rebuild since he said runtime which leads me to believe he wants a config setting. Otherwise I would suggest a much different route
