title: How to turn off ASSERTs in debug mode in Visual Studio 2013
body: <p>Is there any way to turn off asserts instead of switching to Release mode. I need to debug a code which make assertions really often and it slows down my work.
  These asserts are not related to the issue i am trying to solve, so for now they only slow down my progress, because they are called very often in one of my base classes.
  Now I don't have the time to improve their design, so can someone tell me if there is a way to turn off asserts while being in debug mode and using it's capabilities. </p>
