I suggest that you are trying to do something that is not normal in other languages as well in C#. In over ten years, I certainly have never found a need to do what you are suggesting. If you really want to continue with this unusual quest, then I suggest you use straightforward search and replace in your source files to achieve any possible refactoring.

As someone has already mentioned, then it is possible via
the C/C++ preprocesser.

And it seen used occasionally. Not often but it happens.

It is not possible in current C#. And I doubt that it
will be possible in any of the future versions of C#.

It does not really fit well with the C# model.
