I have this legacy code that I am working with and there is code like this all over the place:
#If PRE611 = True Then 'Do Something #Else 'Something Else #End If
I am pretty sure the PRE611 has something to do with versioning, but I would like to know what specifically the # sign does.
Those are directives, and allows you to do conditional compiling. # sign used for directives.
In this case It will compiled either part of the code based on the evaluation of ‘PRE611 = True’
