我的ASP.NET Web应用程序中web.config文件的system.web部分中的调试参数

Question

I'm trying to find out some info on what does debug parameter do in this line of the web.config file for my web application:

<system.web>
    <compilation targetFramework="4.0" debug="true"/>

Can someone explain? And do I need to keep it in production product? For some reason that line stays in my web.config when I publish the web app.

Answer 1

It determines whether debug information is generated for the compiled assemblies. IIS compiles content automatically, so that if you alter a page file, your changes become effective automatically. the tag in question tells IIS how to compile it.
