In Visual Studio 2010, how do I rebuild my site in "release mode"? I can't find "release mode"

I'm getting this error, vb / .net4, although the website is working fine, at the bottom of the page:

YAF Compiled in DEBUG MODE. Recompile in RELEASE MODE to remove this information:

I opened up Visual Studio 2010 right-clicked my solution, looked under the "build" tab, but I cannot find anything about release mode. Could somebody please tell me where I can find this and build my site in release mode? Thanks!

Solution

  • I'm experiencing the same issue with VS 2010 and VS 2011 beta. I suspect a third party tool or plugin may be the culprit and am in the process of looking into this.

    For now, just change the compilation switch in the Web.Config to false:

    <system.web>
    <compilation debug="false">
</system.web>

    UPDATE 1:

    I have fixed my VS 2010 issue by uninstalling Telerik JustTrace. I was still experiencing the same issue with VS 2011 beta (on a separate VM to VS 2010) though. So, I tried using a Web Application Project instead of a Website Project and the problem went away.

    UPDATE 2:

    This is normal for website projects as each page is compiled dynamically:

    Why can't you build a website in release mode?
