Re: Question about setting Command Line Arguments from Project Properties

You are mixing two different concepts. You can not do command line
arguments for compile time conditions. The code is already compiled and the
path of execution is already decided. I think you need to look at
condtional compilation contraints in teh Build section of configuration
properties.

Hope it helps
