#if preprocessor directive

[Guest]

Hi everyone,

When I compile in Visual Studio as DEBUG, I see the line "Debugging..." when
I execute the program.
But when I compile as a Release, I also see this "Debugging..." line when I
execute the program. What is the cause of this problem?

best regards,

Filip De Backer

Console.ReadLine();
}

#if DEBUGGING
OutputLocals();
#endif
}
}
}

Filip,

Well you define the symbol DEBUGGING in your source file so it will be
set regardless which build configuration you use. Why not use the
predefined DEBUG symbol instead?

OK, the following code works:
(the previous code is something I found in a book, so that's why I asked it.
wrong code in the book :-(

*****

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace ProgrammingTest
{
class Program
{

#if DEBUG
static void OutputLocals()
{
Console.WriteLine("debugging...");
Console.ReadLine();
}
#endif

static void Main(string[] args)
{
#if DEBUG
OutputLocals();
#endif
}
}
}
