Conditional compile based upon Active Configuration

SStory

I would like to have some code compile if my Active Configuration is set to
debug and not compile if it is set to Release.

I don't want to have to remember to define a constant. I just want to
change configurations and all debug code not execute.

How is this possible.

Thanks in advance,

Shane

\\\
#If Debug Then
...
#End If

Select the project in the project explorer, select the "Project" menu ->
"Properties " -> "Configurat ion Settings" -> "Build" -> "Define DEBUG
constant" (translated from the German language version of VS.NET 2002).

cool , I found it.
Thre is a checkbox that says Defin Debug Constant already checked in the
debug configuration.
That is what I wanted to do.

I can't always remember to define one. This will be helpful. Keep me from
burning a CD with Debug code still in.

Conditional compilation based on hardware info

by: ashok.anbalan | last post by:

Hi, I am working with a VC++ based tool that does hardware reads & writes besides some other stuff. I want to conditionally compile a piece of code based on the value of a field in a register i.e. only if the bit in the register is set I want to go ahead & compile the piece of code else it is left untouched. Basically, this has to happen at the pre-processor stage.

Conditional compile from a main file with defines, is it possible?
