A cool feature in the .NET library that I rarely see used is the IsDebuggingEnabled property. This returns a value indicating whether the current HTTP request is in debug mode. I’ve found this useful in the past where I wanted something displayed on the screen to distinguish if the website I’m working on is a debug build or not. To change the compilation of a website, you update the compilation element in the web.config file:
Debugging is off: <compilation debug="false">
Debugging is on: <compilationdebug="true">
The following code demonstrates how to use this property. When page is loaded and debugging is enabled, a JavaScript alert will be displayed:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head id="Head2" runat="server">
<title></title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"
src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
if ('<%= System.Web.HttpContext.Current.IsDebuggingEnabled %>' == 'True') {
alert("Debugging enabled!");
}
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I find this piece of code very useful if I want to see results that I would not want to be displayed, in a production environment.
