currently all my application that is released is always release in production. However I would like that changed and also have a development side (For testing).

I've tried searching for steps on how to create a development server however I cannot seem to find a tutorial.

In the past I've seen someone release their application in development by having it in on "Debug" option and have it released in production by having it on the "release" option. (I apologize for the vagueness as it was along time ago since I saw it).

But anyways to my question, can someone tell me the general steps for creating a production and development environment for my project? I'm currently using winform application on VB (Microsoft visual Studio 2008)

Thanks for the help
