Question

Does system.Reflection work when I use release folder ?

Answer 1

Usually yes – reflection is just a runtime tool; however, it really depends on what you do with your release that is different to debug; for example:

• do you obfuscate?
• do you merge (ilmerge etc)
• do you sign/strong-name them differently?
• does your release app run with the same privelege / security as in the debugger?
• any caspol differences: running from a network share, for eample?
• is the release framework version / platform the same?
• does your code have any intentional #IF DEBUG / #IF RELEASE or [Conditional(...)] sections?

all of these can impact reflection.

But if all other variables are the same, then yes: reflection should be the same between debug and release.
