How to detect if program execution is in debug mode?

[Bob]

If I'm running the executable, I need to do something, but if I am running
the program fom within Visual studio I need to use another bit of code.

Thanks for any help.

Maybe the following solutions fit your requirements:

\\\
#If DEBUG Then
Console.WriteLi ne("Debug mode.")
#Else
Console.WriteLi ne("Release mode.")
#End If
///

Make sure that the option "Configurat ion settings" -"Build" "Define DEBUG
constant" in the project properties is checked.

- and/or -

You can check if a debugger is attached:
'System.Diagnos tics.Debugger.I sAttached'.

If System.Diagnost ics.Debugger.Is Attached Then
' Debugging
Else
' Running from Executable
End If
