Compile time constants

Is there a way with Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 to list the name a value of
compile time constants like those created with #define statements.

Right now I have the need to use the same C# code in 2003 and 2005 and need
to know which version is doing the work. I could create one but if there is
already one there I would rather use it.
Thanks

The "pre-processor" symbols in C# don't have values. However, you could
do:

#if VS2003
const int Version = 2003;
#else
const int Version = 2005;
#endif

I don't believe there's anything in the default project settings to
define "VS2003" or anything like that, but you can easily put them in.

I'm working on a custom assembly and I'm trying to figure out the best approach to handling known constraints within the assembly, once compiled, to alert the developer at compile time of a potential issue. For example, in the assembly I would like to add a constraint that states a particular property member of the class can not be equal to one other property. In standard coding I can throw an exception during run-time, but I would rather...

I've been developing a C89 microcontroller application for a while now and I've been testing its compilation using gcc. I've gotten zero errors and zero warnings with gcc, but now that I've moved over to the micrcontroller compiler I'm getting all sorts of errors. One thing I'd like to clarify is the need (in C89) for a compile- time constant in the initialiser of a variable. The compiler rejects the following source file: /* Start...
