Hi Scirious,

You can conditionally compile a constant, somewhere in a source file.

///
#if DEBUG
public const bool IsDebug = true;
#else
public const bool IsDebug = false;
#endif
///

To compile for 'Release', choose 'Release' from the drop-down menu that
should contain the word 'Debug', on your main toolbar. The difference
between 'debug' and 'release' is simply a configuration thing... It's the
command-line options that are passed to the compiler. That is, in the
release build, you'll probably have debugging turned off, and optimisation
turned on.
 
Thanks, but I'm using Visual C# Express Edition and I don't see any place
to chose release. The drop-down list here is disabled!
 
Goto tools, and uncheck the box that hides advanced options (right on
the first tools screen).

Sorry, but i don't see such option. Are you sure it exists in the Express
Editions?
