using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
namespace ConditionalAttributeExample
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
DebugMethod();
HelloWorld();
}
[Conditional("DEBUG")]
public static void DebugMethod()
{
Console.WriteLine("Running in Debug");
}
public static void HelloWorld()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
}
}
}
but in release
Now if you wanted to create a method that only runs in release you'll quickly learn that there is no RELEASE preprocessor directive, so you'll have to add your own, you can configure it in your project properties, but that's not obvious enough for me. Instead I like to define one at the top of my file:
#define RELEASE
#if DEBUG
#undef RELEASE
#endif
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
namespace ConditionalAttributeExample
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
DebugMethod();
ReleaseMethod();
HelloWorld();
}
[Conditional("DEBUG")]
public static void DebugMethod()
{
Console.WriteLine("Running in Debug");
}
[Conditional("RELEASE")]
public static void ReleaseMethod()
{
Console.WriteLine("Running in Release");
}
public static void HelloWorld()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
}
}
}
you can also chain conditional attributes together, so the following
[Conditional("RELEASE"), Conditional("DEBUG")]
public static void ReleaseOrDebugMethod()
{
Console.WriteLine("Running in Release Or Debug");
}
