The main problem that you first have to define: What is the different
between release and debug build?

>From the CLR-View the only difference is the
"System.Diagnostics.DebuggableAttribute"-Attribute.

This attribute has two properties:
- IsJITTrackingEnabled
- IsJITOptimizerDisabled

If both are "false", then you have a release build.

See:

us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemdiagnostics
debuggableattributeclasstopic.asp

An other difference might be the generation of PDB-Files. But the
current VS2002/2003 only support the generation of PDB-files with boths
attribut-members set to "true".

If you compile via command-line you can build a release version (no
DebuggableAttribute-Attribute or both set to false) AND have a PDB-file
generated.
