Re: Can I change my code depending on the build type?

The setting in web.config is only used if the web server does the compilation. If you build the solution in Visual Studio, it's the setting in the Configuration Manager that is used.

Hi Goran...

I can't get this to work - I wonder if you could shed any light on it...

Basically, I've just setup a simple web, with a config and an aspx page, which has the following in Page_Load()...

#if DEBUG
Response.Write("debug!");
#else
Response.Write("release!");
#endif

However, when I run this page (thru IIS), it *always* writes "debug!" - even if I set compilation debug="false" in web.config.

Is there something else I need to enable?! I'm not using Web Publish or anything like that, just a straightforward Rebuild and then point IE at the webserver.

Any suggestions!?

Yes, that works.

I use it myself in an application that adds a lot of records to a database. The release version puts data in a buffer and saves them when the buffer is full or has lived a certain time, but the debug version flushes the buffer for each record so that they show up in the database immediately.

I've got a function that needs to work slightly differently on the development server from the production server, but of course I don't want to be changing code just before compiling a release version!?

I'm thinking I could use some #if #else #endif type statements to change certain things, depending on the build type. I'm thinking of something like this in my .cs file...

#if DEBUG private string MyFunc()
{
// debug version
}
#else
private string MyFunc()
{
// release version
}
#end if

Would this work!? If not, how could I achieve a similar effect? (.net 2)
