Application identity is not set

[Adagio]

I have some code that should only be run on the published application, not during debug
From what I have been told, the following line should avoid it from stepping into my code during debug mode:

If System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed Then
' Code that is not allowed to be run in debug mode
End if


But if I run this during debug I get this error: "Application identity is not set". But how do I test if this is set or not?
If I have a watch on System.Deployment.Application I just get the message "Application is not a member of Deployment"

Any kind soul in here who knows how to test if Application identity has been set or not and would like to share that information?

No, that's not what that is for. You should use conditional compilation to include only in a Debug or Release build:

#If DEBUG Then
        'Any code here will only be compiled in a Debug build.
#Else
        'Any code here will only be compiled in a Release build.
#End If

It's important to realise that this is not a If statement that gets executed at run time. It's an instruction to the compiler. In a Release build the code in the #If block won't even exist, and the same goes for the code in the #Else block in a Debug build.
