Re: conditional directives

Bart and Dino,

Thanks for that pointer.  I had not understood what those 'build'
properties were really used for.  Interesting that you can add more of
your own.

I confess my immediate need was not too substantial - I get tired of
seeing (and waiting for!) a splash screen to appear and go away when
running in the IDE.  Hopefully, I'll find some more appropriate uses for
the conditional compilation options.

Peter,

You can define them at project level in the build properties - I have
some projects where I have 2 debug and 2 release profiles, one with and
one without an additional parameter. An easy one would be to use #if
!DEBUG if you only ever run the code in the IDE in debug mode, but if
you run in release mode also (as I do) you might need your own value.

I haven't had much use for these in the past (or better yet, I didn't
understand how they could be used so I didn't use them).

 

Anyway, I have a need with my current development to limit some
functionality while running from the IDE.  I figured I could use
'#if..." to do such a conditional thing.  But there are a few things I
don't understand about doing this.  If I have these #define IDE commands
all over my files, before a release build, I'd have to remove them,
correct (which seems like a pain)?  Is there a better way to
conditionally skip some things while running from the IDE?
