    It means that:

    using System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes;
    

    will only be compiled into the assembly if the symbol USING_NET11 is false.

    Since System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes was added in .NET 2.0, this directive means that the code will still compile against .NET 1.1 since the new reference won’t be compiled in.
