Debug Regions

[JZ]

Hi,

Is there anyway to mark a block of code so that it will only run in debug
mode?

Like a # debug region ?

Thanks,

JZ,
In addition to "#if DEBUG" as the other suggest, check out
System.Diagnostics.ConditionalAttribute. It allows to define a routine that
will only be called in a specific build.

<Conditional("DEBUG")> _
Public Sub CalledOnlyInDebugBuilds()

End Sub

<Conditional("TRACE")> _
Public Sub CalledOnlyInTraceBuilds()

End Sub

If the DEBUG or TRACE conditional compilation constants are not defined
(such as DEBUG in Release builds) the above calls are treated as nops.

Its how Debug.WriteLine & Trace.WriteLine are implemented.

Hope this helps
Jay

In the project properties, make sure the checkbox that defines the
'DEBUG' constant is checked (this checkbox should be checked by default).
