Convert VB.NET Preprocessor directive for recognizing type of application to C# Preprocessor directive

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

VB.NET has a variable some place called _MyType that indicates the application type. One of them is "WindowsForm".

So, in the DLL vb says:
#If _MyType = "WindowsForm" then
...
#endif

How do I determine if this dll is being called by a WinApp or WebApp or ConsoleApp in C#?

Sorry I asked the wrong question before.

I don't think VB.NET has a predefined symbol called _MyType. The projects you are using, or perhaps a 3rd party source library, may have done that through their project settings.

To simulate that in C# you will manually have to do the same. Define WindowsForms in all your Winforms projects, Console in all your console projects, WebApp in all your web projects, etc.
