debug settings in web.config and VS.NET

[headware]

What's the difference between setting the <compilation debug="true">
in the web.config file and setting the Active Solution Configuration
to "Debug" in the Configuration Manager of Visual Studio.NET? What
happens if these two settings are in conflict with each other?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Headware,

Here is an excellent article that describes the <compilation
debug="true"> entry in the web.config.

There is a discussion page related to the above article that has an
entry that I believe answers your question :

Here is the excerpt I am referring to :
"VS.NET doesn't bother with the debug setting from web.config. Once you
build your project in VS.NET and deploy it, compiled code-behind DLLs
don't get recompiled no matter what."
Hope this helps.

Thanks Tod, I'll have a look at those articles.
