How do I check if Debug is enabled in web.config

Question

I have some code from my VB.NET 1.1 days that allowed me to dynamically check if Debug was enabled in web.config. I figured why re-invent the wheel in turning on/off logging

Answer 1

Use:

HttpContext.Current.IsDebuggingEnabled

This property actually looks at the web.config configuration setting. If you look at it using Reflector you will find that it gets the actual ConfigurationSection object using some internal classes.
