Debug Mode

[Micah]

I am looking for a way to tell if the program is compiled in debug
mode, I want the application I am writing to spit out a message to QA
if a error occured and if it is in debug mode, but if it is in release
mode, I want it to keep the error to itself. is there a way to do this
if so how ?

'System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached'

Isn't it correct thoug that if you use the compiler constants, it will only
compile the code into the app if it is set up with that constant? unlike
where if you asked if the debugger is attached which would be in every
compile... just wanted to point that out as a possible issue if they expect
the code to be compiled into the app if they use the compiler constants
version of it.

Keyword - DEBUG in a if statement can not be used in a expression also,
'System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached'
states that a debugger like interdev is attached, QA does not have
Interdev on there machines for it to be attached with,I just want to
know if it was compliled in debug mode or not. Maybe
'System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached' is what I am looking for but I
thought that ment if Interdev was attached to the process ?

I forgot to mention that you will have to perform these steps in order
to make the code above work:

.... in the prioject properties, "Configuration settings" -> "Build" the
checkbox "Define DEBUG constant" must be checked.

Debug is checked, but is still is not a key word ? What am I doing wrong
?

I have similar problem but the application is not VB.NET. It is VB 6.0. How
do I print the debug string to the console window?

What debug string?

Take a look at the source code provided at

If you are typing '#If ' into the code editor, does intellisense pop up
a listbox containing "DEBUG"?

Any debug string. I can't use msg box to show the string because it will
pause the process. Simply, I want to print to the string the console window
during the process excution like C run time library function: printf(...).

Thank you for the help.

VB6 doesn't support console applications.

For writing to the debug window when running the project inside the IDE
