Visual Studio Debugger
Project Settings for C# Debug Configurations
"Sets mode for compiling the application.
Choose among
Active (Debug), <========
Debug, <========
Release,
All Configurations."
It appears that Active (Debug) and Debug are two separate choices.
However, the MSDN library fails to explain the difference between Active (Debug) and Debug.
There's no information here: "Visual Studio Debugger Project Settings for C# Debug Configurations"
I could not find any explanation via Google either.
QUESTION:
What is the difference between Active (Debug) and Debug?
Tracing is a process about getting information regarding program's execution. On the other hand debugging is about finding errors in the code.
Running an app within a debugger, also called debugging mode, means that the debugger actively monitors everything that's happening as the program runs. It also allows you to pause the app at any point to examine its state and then step through your code line by line to watch every detail as it happens.
Debug Mode: When we are developing the application. Release Mode: When we are going to production mode or deploying the application to the server. 2). Code optimization. Debug Mode: The debug mode code is not optimized.
The Active tab is to denote the currently active configuration. In the case of Active (Debug) it is noting the active configuration is the debug one.
You can demonstrate this by changing the current configuration to Release and then revisiting the Debug tab. It will now display Active (Release).
