C# code works fine in debug mode but not while running

netEnthu

Hi, I have a C# code snippet using thread and delegates which works fine in debug mode i.e. with break points and the same code doesn't work in run mode. I am running this on Windows XP 64 bit OS and .net 2.0. Any help in this regard is appreciated. AZ

I presume by "run mode" what you really mean is "Release"? Or are you taking the debug build and running it outside of Visual Studio? Also, it helps if you post the snippet so we can see what is going on. Saying it "doesn't work" is somewhat vague and unhelpful.

In Debug some values will be set to default values while in realse it may be assigned with null. Code depending on those may give some error also. Pls check for #if Debug kind of directives in this case the could will only work in debug mode never in release mode

No it won't. An integer will be assigned 0 by default in Debug and Release. A Boolean will be false in both. A reference type will be null by default in both debug and release. Can you cite any example where an object is assigned one value by default in a Debug build and another in Release?

Thanks to correct me. Then only we can check for #if Debug .in this case.

Dont hesitate to be a little bit more specific, so we might be able to help.

Do you have any threads running ? Are the bugs UI related ? I often find that breakpoints can make code work, because it will force a break which causes things to work where otherwise they face a race condition, or where a paint message gets lost due to too much processing happening for it to occur, that sort of thing. What is the nature of the bug ?

may be one of your threads working depends on other thread .. and at runtime a deadlock creates due to lesser time or some other reason.
