Duplicate of: Debug vs. release in .NET
Why are there 'Debug' and 'Release' modes on build in .NET applications?
What is the major technical difference between them?

The Debug configuration of your program is compiled with full symbolic debug information which help the debugger figure out where it is in the source code. Is Release mode is faster than Debug mode ? The Release mode enables optimizations and generates without any debug data, so it is fully optimized. .
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. Release Mode: The release mode code is 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.
Visual Studio projects have separate release and debug configurations for your program. You build the debug version for debugging and the release version for the final release distribution. In debug configuration, your program compiles with full symbolic debug information and no optimization.
Differences:
And many others. Release is sensibly faster, but it offers no real debug support. For debugging there is... the debug mode :)
