SetEnvironmentV ariable in Debug and Release cofiguratin

Hello folks,

I was trying to set some environment variable for a process I create.
(The variables are my own, not system).

I use SetEnvironmentV araible() from C# code.
In Debug configuration this works fine, but in Release configuration
the action fails.
The return value is TRUE, and no Exception is thrown.

Any ideas ?!

You could be right on that assumption, however, as you can tell, I tried to
implement my own wrapper for GetEnvironmentV ariableW ... but I cannot get
that to work!!

Thanks for your concern though ;) !
BTW, I think eventually the problem is related to the different version
of the API in WIN32: the *A (ASCII) and *W (UNICODE) version.

I have read in one article that when we compile the application in release mode, all the debug classes and properties will be automatically removed from the code. I tried to implement this thing by using the following code in Page_Load event handler. Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim intcount As Integer intcount = 0 For intcount = 0 To 4

Hi I'm about to upload my site and I have switched to release version. Is that enough or do I still need to disable <compilation defaultLanguage="vb" debug="true" /> the debug="true" in the .pdb file? Is the .pdb necessary for the release version? Thanks a bunch. Dara

Since I need to dotfuscate my exe file anyway, does it make any difference if I use Debug or Release versions. Would a Debug version be easier to decompile/study/reverse engineer than a Release version, both having been dotfuscated by the standard dotfuscator of visual studio 2003 ? Tia

Hello, In VS2003, I used to have two solutions - a debug and release solution. Each solution had a webservice project and several other class library projects. The webservice project referenced all the other class library projects (i.e. so that it used the dll created when those other projects were built). The debug solution was configured so that all the projects in it had debug

I am having trouble getting debug and release builds to work properly with project references using C++ .NET and Visual Studio 2003. I created a test solution, with a basic Windows form C++ project. I then add a class library, and add a reference to this project in the first project. When I do a release build, I see the following in the output from the DLL compile: /OUT:"C:\Documents and Settings\Andrew\My Documents\Visual Studio

It is my understanding - and please correct me if I'm wrong - that when building a project in debug mode, I can deploy the .pdb file along with the ..exe and thereby have access to the specific line number of code that throws an exception. Specifically, I can have an error logging routine that, amongst other things parses the call stack and tells me the specific line of code that choked. It is also my understanding that if building in...

Hello, Is there a way to get Visual Studio 2003 look to one directory for debug version dlls when set to DEBUG and then to another directory where I store the release version of a dll when set to RELEASE? My current project uses about 8 dlls I've written in the past, but I don't want to keep re-compiling them for debug/release depending on whether I'm compiling the current project for debug/release.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
