Code for debug mode is not compiled when publishing

Question

There're places where I use #if DEBUG compiler directive to choose which code to compile. Until just a little while ago I was able to publish my ASP.NET MVC application in either Debug or Release mode. In fact I can still do that. But now, for some reason, no matter which mode I choose I get only the Release code in the output. If I take a look inside the generated dll with .NET Reflector, I can see that the code after #if DEBUG is not present. I've checked the Define DEBUG constant for Debug mode in project properties. The only way I can get it work is to define DEBUG constant explicitly. Is there any other place where I can configure publish settings besides the one when publishing?

经过多次挖掘（发布此问题后），我在ProjectName | Properties | PublishProfiles下找到了一个名为MyProjectName.pubxml的文件：

我找到了这一行：

   <DebugSymbols>False</DebugSymbols>

将此设置为True后，它最终得到解决并按预期工作。我还注意到LastUsedBuildConfiguration的值是Release，虽然它实际上是Debug。所以很明显这个文件在某些​​时候不能是最新的。希望这有助于那些候选人浪费数小时的时间。

修改

我再次面临同样的问题，但这次我需要反向发布模式。这次更改上述文件并没有解决问题。所以我决定做我认为最好的事情：只需删除PublishProfiles文件夹，以便在下次尝试发布应用程序时提示您创建新的发布配置文件。这解决了这个问题。

伙计，我没有意识到有选择配置的选项。出来我们需要选择我们需要发布的配置，无论在visual studio本身选择什么配置。
