Q: Is there a way to determine if program is executed under Studio IDE?

[Niu Kun]

My solution is to set a unique name for the program main form.
And then you can list all the programs currently running and see if
there's one title the same to yours.

Hi!

I am creating an applications that executes crystal reports.

When developing i want the reports to be read from a certain folder and when
the program is not executed i want to use the Application.StartupPath.

Is there any chans this can be done?

another approach than martins to interact with running processes
is to use the Process Class

If it is only significant to change your path while debugging
another approach might be to simply start your application
with a sartup parameter.


Maybe this can be of help

I can think of two simple ways.

1) Conditional compilation - although you have to set a variable.
2) Check what the app startuppath is and develop from a specific
folder.

If you always start the program with debugging enabled while you are
running under the VS IDE, you can use this:

using System.Diagnostics;
...
if (Debugger.IsAttached) ....
