I have an application installed on my computer. How do I find out if it was compiled in DEBUG mode or not?
I've tried to use .NET Reflector, but it does not show anything specific. Here is what I see:
// Assembly APPLICATION_NAME, Version 8.0.0.15072
Location: C:\APPLICATION_FOLDER\APPLICATION_NAME.exe
Name: APPLICATION_NAME, Version=8.0.0.15072, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
Type: Windows Application
I blogged this a long time ago, and I don't know if it still valid or not, but the code is something like...
private void testfile(string file)
{
if(isAssemblyDebugBuild(file))
{
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0} seems to be a debug build",file));
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0} seems to be a release build",file));
}
}
private bool isAssemblyDebugBuild(string filename)
{
return isAssemblyDebugBuild(System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFile(filename));
}
private bool isAssemblyDebugBuild(System.Reflection.Assembly assemb)
{
bool retVal = false;
foreach(object att in assemb.GetCustomAttributes(false))
{
if(att.GetType() == System.Type.GetType("System.Diagnostics.DebuggableAttribute"))
{
retVal = ((System.Diagnostics.DebuggableAttribute)att).IsJITTrackingEnabled;
}
}
return retVal;
}
