Detect development server in asp.net (Visual Studio)

Question

Can you programatically detect if the Development server in Visual Studio is used instead of IIS?

Answer 1

You can check the debug flag of your web.config. You have to set it debug=true in development and on going live you change it to false (what you have to do anyway).

You can check if it is in debug with the following line:

HttpContext.Current.IsDebuggingEnabled

Maybe there are better ways to check this
