In Solution properties, I have Configuration set to "release" for my one and only project.
At the beginning of the main routine, I have this code, and it is showing "Mode=Debug".
I also have these two lines at the very top:
#define DEBUG
#define RELEASE
Am I testing the right variable?
#if (DEBUG)
Console.WriteLine("Mode=Debug");
#elif (RELEASE)
Console.WriteLine("Mode=Release");
#endif
My goal is to set different defaults for variables based on debug vs release mode.
Best Answer
DEBUG
/_DEBUG
should be defined in VS already.Remove the
#define DEBUG
in your code. Set preprocessors in the build configuration for that specific build.The reason it prints "Mode=Debug" is because of your
#define
and then skips theelif
.The right way to check is:
Don't check for
RELEASE
.
