C# - Deploying App To Production Using Debug Mode Rather Than Release Mode?
Oct 28, 2010I work for a shop that maintains a fairly new app. The app still has its fair share of bugs, with numerous tickets coming in daily. The error information we're given with those tickets is not as useful as it might be because the application was compiled in Release mode, which I read is smaller and faster (makes sense).
Are there any ramifications to deploying a .NET application to production that was compiled in Debug mode? I would expect it would be a bit slower, but I've read the difference is nominal. This would assure us that when we get errors on tickets we have line number associated with those errors and this, of course, makes debugging much easier. major red flags that would prevent you from doing this? I'm tasked with researching the possibility.
Application.Startup Path Points To My Debug Bin When User Executes ?
Jun 29, 2012I sent the application exe to a user to test and they get an unhandled exception error and the details show my personal My Documents Folder/DEBUG path from the project. So I tried to use Application.ExecutablePath but when I release that it points to "My Documents" Folder (not the debug) folder. The file to open is in the same folder as the exe is in but for some reason the error occurs because the application is not looking for the file using the path where the EXE was launched from. Here is my code that relates to the section giving my users a problem:
from the module
Public Class shrd
Public Shared ocSess As cSession

How can I get the application to open the file that is in the same folder as the exe when the user launches
Changes Don't Work In Debug Mode?
May 28, 2010Whenever I make any changes in my project, they don't work and aren't visible in debug mode. They are all visible in my designer mode. It's the same with newly added code, it just doesn't work (even a simple command like showing a test messagebox doesn't work).
How could this be? It all worked fine until recently. I don't want to start over with my project, because it's a pretty big one.

View 1 RepliesDLLs Not Copying In Debug Mode?
Aug 29, 2011I have a few DLLs that I have added to my project. I placed directly into the BinRelease directory and set Copy Local and Specific Version to true. Now if I move to debug mode, it doesn't copy those DLLs into the debug folder, so it won't compile. If these are just 3rd party DLLs, and not being built by my program, is it normal practice to throw these into the Release and Debug folders every time?

View 11 RepliesIDE :: Not Stopping At Breakpoints In Debug Mode?
Apr 21, 2011The solution and all the projects within it are set for Debug;I deleted the .suo file as recommended in one posting.I ran rebuild on each and every project individually and the entire solution.I deleted the files in binDebug and did the whole thing over again. Still can't debug.
While stepping into (F8) I did get the hollow debug symbol in the margin and when just running the program (F5) the program starts up without stopping at any of several breaks in different functions and subs.

View 2 RepliesIs Running In DEBUG Or RELEASE MODE
Apr 14, 2011I have several VB.NET Windows Form applications connecting tp several Network databases. When I build, update and test my apps, I want them to connect to a testing database as opposed to connecting to the production databases when the app is released.Right now, I change a setting in my coding before releasing the app, but I would like this to be automatic, to prevent any testing data in the Production database and vice versa.I found this piece of coding on the web, but it doesn't seem to ever be in DEBUG mode and by DEBUG mode I mean when I click the "Start Debugging" button or the F5 key.

View 5 RepliesProject Will Not Start In Debug Mode?
Feb 4, 2010I'm using VS2008, and I have a project that will not start when I press F5 or when I click the little green triangle in the toolbar. The screen flickers once, like the project is going to run, and then it doesn't. The build message claims the build was successful, but the project won't start.In the Configuration Manager, my 'Active solution configuration:' is set to Debug, and in the 'Project contexts' list, the 'Configuration' column for my Project is set to Debug. I've even switched them back and forth between Debug and Release and then back to Debug, all with no effect. The project that I'm trying to run is set as the 'Startup Project' in my solution.If I go to my inDebug folder and double-click the .exe, (which shows the proper time-stamp on the file) my app runs just fine.Any ideas why I can't get the silly thing to run in debug mode?
EDIT:
It's a winforms application.
My version of Visual Studio is 9.0.30729.1 SP

VB Projects Always Building In Debug Mode
Mar 9, 2012I ran into an issue today where VB is behaving differently from C#. The issue is as follows.
Also note this is for .Net 4.0.
Both projects are set to build in release mode
Both projects are in the same solution
The solution is set to build in release
Both projects output to a Release folder in bin / obj
Everything seems to be okay except for one thing. When inspecting the files with a tool such as http://assemblyinformation.codeplex.com/ the VB projects show as Debug and the C# projects show as Release.
I tracked this down to a setting in the Advanced Compiler Options for the pdb files. If the debug info output for VB is set to anything other than none - then the project builds in debug mode (keep in mind it still outputs to the release folder). C# does not exhibit this behavior.
I did a blog post here to work around the issue - but would love to know the root cause if any one knows.

View 1 RepliesRelease Mode Runs, Debug Hangs?
Sep 25, 2011I have an x86 VS2010 app running on a 64 bit machine that hangs in debug mode. Both the interpretive version and the compiled debug .exe hang. If I step through the interpretive version it runs. The release mode works fine. Doesn't seem like system memory is a problem as I'm reporting 1.8 gig free after I load the app. I've googled this and don't see anything pertaining to debug environment specific behavior. Is there a limit to what the debug .exe supports?

View 2 RepliesChanging Project Build Configuration To Debug Mode?
Jul 31, 2009From my DLL project I have succeded in making AutoCAD launch by pressing F5 from VB.net IDE (Visual Studio 2008) en route to try to make debugging of the DLL easier ...
... however one last obstacle is currently in the way and the obstacle is that for some reason when I hit F5 and AutoCAD is launched my breakpoints are not recognized at all... and program runs from start to finish instead of allowing me to debug ...
It issues a strange message which says "The following module was built either with optimizations enabled or without debug information... to debug this module, change its project build configuration to Debug mode..." and it is all weird because as far as I know I am not in release mode .. but in debug mode (anyhow I am relatively new to Visual Studio .NET so I am thinking that my impression could be that I am in debug mode when in actuality I maybe in release mode)...
Here is why I think I am debug mode ...
1. From Solution explorer ... when I click on the Solution Name and view its properties ... the Active config property says Debug|Any CPU
2. When I look at the properties of the project and look at the compile tab it says that the Configuration is Active (Debug) and under Platform it says Active (Any CPU).
3. Under the Advanced Compile Options of Compile Tab from project properties ... Enable optimizations is UNchecked ...
Anyhow with all the settings mentioned above it seems that I have everything okay but then the message above proves otherwise ... and so at this point I know that I am still missing something ... like a setting somewhere... wondering what else do you think am I still missing?
As additional info...there are seven projects in the solution and it is the main one (the one that I set as startup project) whose properties I refer to in all the paragraphs above.

Getting The 403 Forbidden Error While Running A VS 2010 In Debug Mode
Jun 30, 2011I'm getting the 403 Forbidden error while running a VS 2010 in debug mode. It gives me this error as it tries to read thru an XML File. See attachment. This is a web app and it's reading an XML file that retrieves the DB/Server information. It's not the Web.Config file but just a regular xml file. This file is read by every application in our system. Not sure why it suddenly started doing this. I've created the virtual directory on our IIS Server and set permissions on the C:inetpubwwwrootAppName directory of my C: drive where the app resides.

Controls Keep Moving Down On A Winform Panel After Running (in Debug Mode)?
Aug 8, 2011I have a winform with a main panel that is anchored top, left; dock: fill, and set to a specific size to contain another panel of content that we want to scroll through. The other panel along with a few other controls are on the main panel. Now, for some reason, after running the application the controls will be shifted down (never horizontally) some random amount. Now, the "random amount" may in fact be the last position of the scroll bar or something, but either way, it is unintended functionality. I have resorted to automatically resetting the locations of these controls on the main form in the constructor?

I ran the application in production mode and yes it is a complete mess. Because the bookmark is not found, the data will be enterd into the wrong column.When i return to debug mode, the apllication is still correct and the result on the word document is good. Behalf of this, there are users who don't have this problem at all.
