Does anyone know how to get the current build configuration $(Configuration) in C# code?

Egors answer to this question ( here in this answer list) is the correct answer.

You can’t, not really.
What you can do is define some "Conditional Compilation Symbols", if you look at the "Build" page of you project settings, you can set these there, so you can write #if statements to test them.

A DEBUG symbol is automatically injected (by default, this can be switched off) for debug builds.

So you can write code like this

#if DEBUG
        RunMyDEBUGRoutine();
#else
        RunMyRELEASERoutine();
#endif

However, don’t do this unless you’ve good reason. An application that works with different behavior between debug and release builds is no good to anyone.
