No; the point of conditional methods and preprocessor directives is that they cause the compiler to omit code from the final executable. The runtime equivalent of these is an
ifstatement.However, aspect-orientated programming is roughly equivalent to what you’re asking, in that it allows you to inject code into a running program that wouldn’t otherwise be there.
Edit: as Joe mentioned, the way to do this is to program against a logging framework like log4net that allows fine-grained control over what gets logged.
