Conditional attribute question

[Nicole Schenk]

I am placing this code in an aspx or ascx,

If I write (in C#),
[Conditional("DEBUGGING")] SomeMethod(){}

Where do I set "DEBUGGING".

When I try a #define, the compiler complains if I place de define:
1. If after the first line,
2. If I put it as the first line, the line gets parsed as simple text to be
rendered and I see it in the output of the aspx or ascx.

Thanks

Hello Nicole,

Right-click on your project in the solution explorer in Visual Studio and
choose properties.
Select Configuration properties->Build.
In there you can select if you want the Debug, Trace or custom constants
should be defined for the current configuration (usually Debug or Release).
By default the 'Debug'-constant is defined for the Debug-configuration.

I hope this helps you

I don't use the IDE for this project. How would I do it outside of the IDE?
Would be the web.config file?

Thanks

It's about building(compiling).
us csc /defineEBUG for C#
use vbc /debug for VB.NET

Thanks, I think I understand that. However, when I need it when I simple
invoke the apsx without precompiling it. Just from the browser refer to an
URL that references the aspx or ascx involved.

Thanks

Great, I figured it out with your help. You can put the attribute
CompilerOptions in the Page directtive of the aspx.

Thanks
