Identify debugging in VisualStudio

Question

I have an interesting problem.

Is it possible to identify if an assembly is running in Visual Studio?

Look at the following code.

if(FoundThatYouAreDebuggingInVisualStudio)
{
    Print "Hello"
} 
else 
{
    Print "Hi"
}

The above code is present in a .NET assembly (say XYZ) which is built in Release mode. The user is debugging his/her application (say ABC) that references to XYZ assembly.

I need to identify if the user is debugging in the Visual Studio or he is just running the ABC application.

Any ideas?
