debug vs release

[Mel]

I want to send an email in release mode but not in debug mode, how
would I accomplish this?

Here is my email code (using vb.net, visual studio 2005, winxp pro
sp2):
Try
Dim MailMsg As New MailMessage(New
MailAddress("(e-mail address removed)"), New
MailAddress("(e-mail address removed)")) 'from, to
MailMsg.Subject = "Program Generated an Error"
MailMsg.Body = "List Error number and description here"
MailMsg.Priority = MailPriority.High
MailMsg.IsBodyHtml = True
'Smtpclient to send the mail message
Dim SmtpMail As New SmtpClient
SmtpMail.Host = "MYEXCHANGESERVER"
SmtpMail.Send(MailMsg) 'sends the email
Catch ex As System.Exception
'Message Error
End Try

Try something like this

SmtpMail.Host = "MYEXCHANGESERVER"
#If Not Debug then
SmtpMail.Send(MailMsg) 'sends the email
#Endif
Catch ex As System.Exception

Try something like this

             SmtpMail.Host = "MYEXCHANGESERVER"
#If Not Debug then
             SmtpMail.Send(MailMsg)  'sends the email
#Endif
         Catch ex As System.Exception

Thanks, that worked great.

You can also use System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached to detect
whether the application is being debugged, this can have benefits over
using a precompiler statement.

Yes advantages and dissadvantages

1 . if using System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached this would mean that
the code is delivered with your assembly
while in Ken`s solution the code is there when needed and removed when it
isn`t ( so the mail code would not be in the assembly )

2. debugging the compiled executable because it doesn`t send e-mails is
getting impossible

3. using runtime checks makes the app slower , while using a precompile
contstant the app gets faster when you remove the unnecesary code
