Question : How to identify at runtime if the sw is in debug or release mode (VB.NET)

I have a VB.NET application that needs to do some actions only in "Release mode" and not do them in "Debug" mode while I develop and test it in the visual studio environment.
How can identify in code at runtime in what mode Im operating?
And then I can have an IF statement for the operations required in each mode
