When Debug.Assert() method calls exist in source code and I compile in release mode, does the compiler generate the IL for the Debug.Assert() even though it’s not called?
One of our developers added an Assert recently that displays information about our internal security. Could someone look at the release mode IL and figure out the text for the assert?
It does not by default, unless you define the DEBUG symbol (and by default, for Release that is turned off).
To verify, open your Project Properties and select the Build pane in Visual Studio. It will show the checkbox “Define DEBUG constant”. If it is turned on for Release, then asserts will fire; otherwise, they won’t.
