The easiest way to check - pretty much the only way - is to look at the connection string you are using in your code.
If it's "LOCALHOST", or starts with your computers name, it's local.
If it doesn't, it isn't.

But ... I wouldn't rely on that for deciding if you are in dev or release: I'd use very specific config files to make sure that dev is only ever going to access a dev DB. The last thing you ever, ever want is dev code running against a production DB: the possibilities for problems are far, far too great!
