In your AssemlyInfo.cs you can include the following:

#if DEBUG
[assembly: AssemblyDescription("Your description - Debug")]
#else
[assembly: AssemblyDescription("Your description")]
#endif

This will make it easy to see, when using the build in properties dialog on File Explorer.

If it is a c# DLL then you can use ildasm (Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\ildasm.exe) to find out this information.

1) Drag DLL into ILDASM

2) Dbl-Click on the MANIFEST

3) Look for:

// .custom instance void [mscorlib]System.Diagnostics.DebuggableAttribute::.ctor(valuetype [mscorlib]System.Diagnostics.DebuggableAttribute/DebuggingModes) = ( 01 nn nn nn nn nn nn nn )

4) For DEBUG DLLs it will be ( 01 00 07 01 00 00 00 00 ) and for release (01 00 02 00 00 00 00 00) or (01 00 03 00 00 00 00)

Let me know if you need any further info! BTW This is obviously the non programmatic solution.
