Where to put global compiler directives?

I would like to have a compiler directive to switch on or off some code in
several different places.

Is it possible to define a compiler directive (#define BUILD_RESOURCES)
somewhere and have it apply to all forms and classes? I tried putting it
at the top of global.asax, but that didn't work.

Thanks!

If you are using VS.NET, go to Project Properties / Configuration Properties
/ Conditional Compilation Constants.

If you are compiling from the command line use the /Define switch.

You need to put it in the project properties for each configuration you
want it to apply to.
