Should I set AssemblyConfigurationAttribute?

Question

Is it good practice to set AssemblyConfigurationAttribute in .Net assembly files?

Answer 1

I have not found this to be particularly useful (since none but the most low-level tools display this information) and I have never seen it used in production code I have worked on.

Regardless, if you want it, just add the following lines to your AssemblyInfo.cs file:

#if DEBUG
[assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("Debug")]
#else
[assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("Release")]
#endif
