I put a lot of Debug.WriteLine in my code for debug purposes.
When I am ready to build for release, will these Debug.Write influence the release build, and where do they output to?
From MSDN:
“The ConditionalAttribute attribute is applied to the methods of Debug. Compilers that support ConditionalAttribute ignore calls to these methods unless “DEBUG” is defined as a conditional compilation symbol. Refer to a compiler’s documentation to determine whether ConditionalAttribute is supported and the syntax for defining a conditional compilation symbol.”
So if your release configuration does not include DEBUG symbol the Debug.WriteLine calls will be omitted during compilation and there will be no output.
