Why shoud I use release build ?

Hello group,

As a C programmer I know that using a release build is very important
to make reversing as hard as possible. Does this apply also in vb.net.
i.e. apart from the "apparent?" incease in file size, and "apparent?"
marginally slower executable, is there anything wrong with using
debug buils for distributions? (since release builds offer no advantage
against reversing, they even don't remove user rem's)

thanks!!

Remarks arnt compiled into code to start with so what do you mean they dont
remove rems? As for why use a release build, it doesn't contain debugging
code which does, yes it does time it sometime, increase speed a lot with
heavy looping functions and high processor usage functions. also you dont
have PDB files for every assembly you create which allows users to debug
your assemblies, but makes it harder for you to debug because you dont get
line numbers in your error messages if you dont have PDB files with your
assemblies
