I have read Scott Guthie’s article Don’t run production ASP.NET Applications with debug=”true” enabled but I am still not sure if we compile class libraries in debug mode that are referenced by our asp.net web site (and are in the Bin directory) does this affect performance or are they recompiled as non debug? We have DEBUG=FALSE set in our web.config.
Thanks
Richard
An assembly compiled as debug will have debug instrumentation in it. It will be slower and larger than a release build. Your ASP.NET site has no control over the assembly itself.
