    I can offer you three options.

    1) Use $(ConfigurationName) in your pre-build passing it into a batch file or the like.

    2) Use a config files with separate sections for each build configuration. VS supports this. I think this is the best option. See below.

    e.g.

    3) In each project configuration declare a unique compilation symbol and use that in code for conditional compilation (not recommended).
