There's any way to know if a VB.NET application is being debugged?

I have an application developed on VB.NET2010 and I need to enable some objects only when is in debug mode.

The application can know when is being debugged?

you can try to add these preprocessor lines in your script!

#If DEBUG Then
Console.WriteLine("Debug mode.")
#Else
Console.WriteLine("Release mode.")
#End If

You will get the result as per conditions.

This will not determine if the application is being debugged or not, rather it says if it was built with the Debug configuration or not. – Oskar Sjöberg Jan 02 '14 at 19:28

Example:

if (Debugger.IsAttached)
{
    ....
}

(Debugger belongs to the System.Diagnostics namespace)
