Can you test for the debugger at runtime?

[John Heitmuller.]

Hi, does anybody know if you can programmatically test within a VS
2005 VB.NET Windows app to see if the application is running in the
debugger? I have some extra controls on a Windows form that display
useful info when testing the app. I've set visible to false for these
controls for the user version. If I'm running the app in the debugger
I'd like to set visible to true for these debug controls in the form
load event handler.

Thanks,
John

Hi,

Try System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached

Thanks Armin and Patrice. That did just what I wanted.
