Hi Pony,
Based on my understanding, you wanted to determine if the assembly is built
in debug build or release build at runtime.
If your assembly is built from VS2005, the VS2005 will define DEBUG
constant in debug build. You may check this from the Project | Properties
dialog box go to Configuration Properties - Build. The top item on the
right will be Conditional Compilation Constants. By default the value of
this property will be TRACE;DEBUG for debug builds and just TRACE for
release builds.
You can use code similar to the following to detect the build mode at
runtime:
bool runtime = false;
#if( DEBUG )
runtime = true;
#endif
If you are not using VS2005, the above DEBUG constant does not exist. Since
the compiler will emit DebbugableAttribute, you have to check
DebbugableAttribute in the assembly metadata using Reflection, see the link
below:
