Is there a way in C# to replicate a '#ifndef _DEBUG' from C/C++?

Question

I'd like to conditionally exclude/include code based on whether I'm building in debug mode.

Can I use something as simple as a #ifndef _DEBUG as I would in C++?

Answer 1

#if DEBUG
    Console.WriteLine("Debug version");
#endif

#if !DEBUG
    Console.WriteLine("NOT Debug version");
#endif

See this.

Answer 2

Yes you can use preprocessors in C#.

Here is a list from msdn

Answer 3

#if !DEBUG
     // whatever
#endif
