C# in a Nutshell, Second Edition

Name

ConditionalAttribute

Synopsis

This attribute marks a method as callable only if a compilation variable, given by conditionString, is set. Compilation variables can be set by supplying /define:VARIABLE as a command-line argument to the compiler or by supplying #define VARIABLE directives in the source code itself. If the compilation variable is not set, calls to the marked method are ignored.

public sealed class ConditionalAttribute : Attribute {
// Public Constructors
   public ConditionalAttribute(string conditionString);
// Public Instance Properties
   public string ConditionString{get; }
