I have a VC++ application working in release mode. But I am facing an error as "Debug Assertion Failed" in unusual scenarios. When I read about this I got to know that "Debug Assertion Failed" comes in debug mode application. But my application is in Release mode. Kindly help me with this clarification.

Bumping your "question" is rude. You are getting that message because you are using a debug build of your application or a library your application is linked to.

I said my application is a Release mode build. thats for sure... But can u tell how to find whether any library is in debug build. I hope your answer will solve my question.

You have to go look.

Firs thing to understand is: there is no such thing as "Debug mode". "Debug" is just a predefined configuration. You just need to control assertions, if they are enabled or not.

As the the "Debug", this is just one of configurations, and the configuration is the part of the standard for MSBuild projects. You usually get a configuration from a project template, but you can always modify any configuration-specific properties, can remove some configurations, create your own, and so forth. In this aspects, "Debug" is just a name.

Any questions?
