Hi,

I've just started doing some dev work on a WPF/Prism project under VS2008 on 64 bit Windows 7.

I've got these lines in my App.xaml file:

#if (DEBUG)
  RunInDebugMode();
#else
  RunInReleaseMode();
#endif

For some reason its started to always run in release mode despite building in debug mode when hitting F5 in VS2008. How can this be fixed?

Cheers,

Are you sure that all projects are being (re)built prior to running?

Yeah, they're definitely being built prior to running the debug.

OK, Please show us your compilation preprocessor values, it's impossible to make any guesses based on the information provided.

OK, now I feel like a right noob! Sorry, about the shoddy response. Where would I find these values in VS?

Another thing to check: if you go to menu item Build > Configuration Manager... and select Debug in the Active solution configuration: drop down, you should be able to see whether any of your projects (listed below it) are set to build as Release while in the Debug configuration.

Right click on your project then select:

Properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor

or

Properties -> C/C++ -> Command Line

Take a look and check that your settings are all consistent with the values you are using in your source code. It is time well spent to explore all the sections of the Properties dialog and the various options that are available.

The only place I've seen "C/C++" is in the Tools => Options area ...

Select your project in Solution Explorer and click on Properties, or right click on the project and select Properties; it is all in the Properties dialog.

Solution 1

The correct proprocessor value is _DEBUG as shown in the properties of your project.
