Debug/Release difference
Performance differences between debug and release builds
What exactly is the different in compiling and running an asp.net/c# project in Debug mode VS Release Mode?

By default, Debug includes debug information in the compiled files (allowing easy debugging) while Release usually has optimizations enabled. As far as conditional compilation goes, they each define different symbols that can be checked in your program, but they are language-specific macros.
Debug Mode: When we are developing the application. Release Mode: When we are going to production mode or deploying the application to the server. Debug Mode: The debug mode code is not optimized.
The debug folder usually contains your program compiled for debugging, that is there is additional information included, such as variable names, that help you find errors in the program. The release folder contains your program without any of that. Just what is necessary for the program to run.
A quick summary for when to use which mode is as follows: Use debug mode during development, when you want to use hot reload. Use profile mode when you want to analyze performance.
In Debug Mode your .exe has debug information inside of it (source code, variable names and other similar stuff like that).
In Release Mode your .exe lack of debug information makes it smaller and probably performs better due to its smaller footprint.
