If you run the sample code from the last post in release mode and debug mode you will notice that the msil for the test method are different.

The debug code has all these nop instructions and the release mode does not.  What is the nop instruction?  Nop mean no operation.  Why would these nop instructions exist in debug mode and not in release?  After some searching on the internet it looks like the nop command is used in debug mode for break points.  Try this in visual studio.  Change your solution to debug mode and put a break point on a bracket. In code below I put the breakpoint on the top bracket after the word get.  Run the solution in debug mode then change the solution to release mode and run.  Notice how in debug mode you able to break on the actual bracket but in release mode you can only break on the line with actual code.

            public int Value
            { // Breakpoint here
                get
                {
                    return _value;
                }
            }

        private static void TestMethod()
        { // Break Point here
           
        }

Debugging and nop Instructions

Visual Basic .NET allows you to set breakpoints on non-executing lines of code such as End If, End Sub, and Dim statements. To facilitate this popular debugging technique, the compiler inserts nop instructions as placeholders for the non-executing lines of code (since non-executing lines are not translated into IL instructions). The nop instruction is a "no operation" instruction—it does not perform any meaningful work yet can consume a processing cycle.
