where to put #define

[Guest]

Hi,

If I put a #define somewhere in a file then the compiler complains with
'cannot define/undefine after first token in file'

So I plase #define in very begin of file, but then compiler say 'single line
comment or end of line expected'.

Now what ?
The second error does really not give me a hint on what is wrong What is ?

Or is #defoine in C# different ? eg I do this:
#define test 1
#define TEST

Unfortunately only your second define is valid in C# where
the #define defines a symbol that can be used with things
like #if and other precompiler directives.

Take a look at

more info.

Suffice to say, in C# you cannot #define a variable the
way you could in c or c++.
