Intro to Pre-processing Directives

So, I totally dig pre-processor directives. Use them all the time. Do you? I hope so! It can make a Debug build ready for a Release build with the change of a dropdown in Visual Studio.

Here's an example to change the logPath string if you're building in Debug mode (or anything else). This could be very handy with programmatically creating a log4net config.

        string logPath;
#if DEBUG
        logPath = @"C:\csharptocsharp.com\log.txt";
#else
        logPath = @"Q:\sites\csharptocsharp.com\logs\log.txt";              
#endif

Anyway, if you're not using preprocessor directives in your code, then what are you waiting for?
