I must admit, that usually I haven\'t bothered switching between the Debug and Release configurations in my program, and I have usually opted to go for the
**Debug Mode:**
Developer use debug mode for debugging the web application on live/local server. Debug mode allow developers to break the execution of program using interrupt 3 and step through the code. Debug mode has below features:
1) Less optimized code
2) Some additional instructions are added to enable the developer to set a breakpoint on every source code line.
3) More memory is used by the source code at runtime.
4) Scripts & images downloaded by webresource.axd are not cached.
5) It has big size, and runs slower.
**Release Mode:**
Developer use release mode for final deployment of source code on live server. Release mode dlls contain optimized code and it is for customers. Release mode has below features:
1) More optimized code
2) Some additional instructions are removed and developer can’t set a breakpoint on every source code line.
3) Less memory is used by the source code at runtime.
4) Scripts & images downloaded by webresource.axd are cached.
5) It has small size, and runs fast.
