When #if DEBUG runs

Question

I have this code in my C# class.

#if DEBUG
        private const string BASE_URL = \"http://www.a.com/\";
#else
        private const string BASE_URL = \"h

Go to "Project Properties"--> Build Tab of the application. If the Configuration: Active (Debug) then Debug configuration is enabled. Below code will print to console.

#if DEBUG
    Console.WriteLine("in debug mode...");
#endif

If Configuration: Active(Release) then Release configuration is enabled.Below code will print to console.

#if RELEASE
    Console.WriteLine("in release mode...");
#endif

If you want to switch between DEBUG and RELEASE mode use the "Debug/Release/Configuration Manager" drop down right under the Tools Menu.Apologies as most of the developer know it...but is sometimes overlooked and causes confusion why above code is not running correctly.
