Say I would like to use assertions to make sure correct inputs are
given to a procedure. But, I want to do this in testing only, not in
production.
I saw Debug.Assert, which is nice, but does VB.NET have a feature where
you can turn off assertions on production code?

Douglass,
Debug methods are not included in the Release build.

You can also use your own build types:
Goto the menu Build - Configuration Manager, and select <newunder
Active Configuration. Type you config name (ie MyTest), and copy the
settings from Release.
Now you can use the following in your code:
#IF CONFIG = "MyTest" THEN
your asserting code
#END IF
The above code is only compiled in your application when you are using
the MyTest configuration; as soon as you switch to Release, the code is
removed from your assembly. do************@ earthlink.net wrote:

As Kerry stated,
>Debug methods are not included in the Release build.
When you compile your app you can compile it for Debug or for Release.
The default is a Debug build, so Debug.Assert will be included.
You can use "Build - Configuration Manager - Active solution configuration"
to switch between Debug & Release builds of your application.
Alternatively there should be a "Solution configurations" combo box on the
standard toolbar.
NOTE: You may need to use "Tools - Options - Projects and Solutions - Show
advanced build configurations" to enable the solution configurations above.
As Theo suggests you can also use Build - Configuration Manager to define
new configurations, however for Debug.Assert this is not specifically
necessary.

If you make use of assertions (e.g. assert statements) in your code, I

questionnaire is available here:

I need to make verifications in release builds. If a verification
fails, an error message should be displayed and the program should be
aborted. I need this solution to be portable. Then I thought of the
assert macro - it provides the desired functionality but only if
NDEBUG is not defined. So, I could write smth like this:
#if defined NDEBUG
#undef NDEBUG
#include <cassert>
#define NDEBUG

Hi,
is it a nice idea to do assetion checks for method arguments ? I
am currently redesigning a piece of code. Now the problem is that there
are some assumptions for the method arguments that the code makes. It
is not checking the validity of the arguments everywhere because that
would lead to performance penalty. So I am think that at least
assertions will be able check the arguments at least for debug version
to verify the design. But...

Regarding the use of assertions:
According to Juval Lowy's excellent coding standards document (PDF download
available at www.idesign.net), every assumption in your code should have an
assertion... and on average, every 5th line is an assertion.
My question:
Do any of you include that many assertions? I agree in principle that we
should code defensively, but his recommendation just seems to go "overboard"
and would result in a lot of...

I am told that I should use assertions in my testing. The problem is,
because I test using a cut of live data, the data always changes. Has
anyone come up against this or have they abandoned assertions generally?
On a more general note, how does one reconcile a changing data set with
testing driven development?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
