I totally agree, but if I choose to use debug.assert and code contract on the same place should it be in certain order?

Not sure why you would do a double check in that manner. Order shouldn't manner. If I were doing that I believe I'd put the Debug.Assert first as a development debugging aid.

Debug.Assert will not be there in Release code, but code contracts will. So I feel there are cases where debug.assert will be needed in parallel with Code contracts- I might be wrong. Hence the question.

True, but the code contract will detect the issue it both debug and release. If you make sure to break on code contract exceptions you have the same effect without the need for the Debug.Assert. One could make a case that having a debug.Assert in addition to code contract does provide a double check for maintenance (Asserts are hard to ignore :-))

Not to be forgotten: "Use the Trace.Assert method if you want to do assertions in release builds." (msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tk4kachs(v=vs.110).aspx)
