Please tell me that If I write code as

C#

//#define DEBUG    //Commented statement


#if DEBUG
        //Some piece of code here
#endif

Whether final executable will contain IL (Intermediate Language) code of this Some piece of code under DEBUG ?????

Thanks............

Shouldn't it be
#ifdef DEBUG
?

Legor,
Not in c#.
The only condition for #if *is* the equivalent to #ifdef in c/c++.

If you don't define the Symbol the code won't be contained - So simple answer "NO", That is the reason for a compiler switch opposed to normal if-else logic)
