Macros for Debug and Release modes

Question

I am writing application on C++ .NET in Visual Studio 2008. I want to ask if there is standard macros to know if application is in Debug or Release mode.

For example I want to write something like this:

#ifdef DEBUG
System::Windows::Forms::MessageBox::Show("Debuge Mode")
#endif

Visual Studio predefines _DEBUG as the debug macro.

@ViTo: For release you simple check if `_DEBUG` is not defined: `#ifndef _DEBUG`. – Björn Pollex May 26 '11 at 11:16
