Can I change my code depending on the build type?

[musosdev]

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)

Cheers

Thanks for your response Dan,

What's the actual behavior do you mean?

=============== ========
What's more worrying though, is that whether I compilation debug= to true
OR
false in my web.config, I always get the debug version, which would
indicate
that it doesn't seem to be making any difference?
=============== ========

Based on my local test, (in vs 2005 through file test server), the
conditional compiled block will just match the setting in the web.config's
<compilation debug=xxx> attribute. Also, I've tried set this attribute for
a particular sbu directory in the application directory and that worked(
the pages under that directory conforms to the sub web.config's compilation
setting).

Is there any particular setting or scenario in your application that could
cause the difference?
