Hi over there,
What is the difference between the debug option and release one when we run
our projects in VS ? Both of them produce a exe file.


thanks in advance.
 
genc,

When you run with the debug option, it creates an assembly with debug
symbols in it, which are used for debugging. The release mode doesn't have
this, which is why in VS.NET, your breakpoints have a question mark in them
if you set the current configuration to release.

Hope this helps.
 
Thanks a lot.
