Asp.net release build vs debug build

Question

How do I determine if my app was compiled as \"release\" instead of \"debug\"? I went to VS 2008 Project Properties > Build and set the configuration from Debug to Release b

Answer 1

For one in Web.config debug will be set to true, however you can actually set this in a release application too.

In debug however defines like DEBUG are set, so it's simple to do:

bool is_debug;

#ifdef DEBUG
is_debug = true;
#else
is_debug = false;
#endif
