Implement Interface in debug build only

[ramhog]

I have a class which implements several interfaces. One of them I
would like to have implemented only if it is a debug build. Is there
a way to do this?

Thanks.

Re: Implement Interface in debug build only

Hello ramhog,

and what the problem? just use #if DEBUG preprocessor directive for this

but u cant miss implementing some interfaces, u need provide either debug
implementation or the standart one

Re: Implement Interface in debug build only

The problem with this is that if I only want to have the interface
implmented during a debug build. If I just put the #if DEBUG...#endif
around the methods, then a release build will have errors because the
interface isn't fully implemented.

public class MyBigTestClass : IReleaseMethods , ITestMethods
{
....
}

In this example, I want to only have the ITestMethods implemented in a
debug build.

I hope I am making sense.

Thank you for your help.

Re: Implement Interface in debug build only

Hello ramhog,

Then I suppose u need to have the 2 classes, and wrapping one with #if debug
and another with #if RELEASE

interface isn't fully implemented.

You have to do the same in the declaration:
class AddEditAgencySe ssionInfo
#if DEBUG
: IDisposable
#endif

Thanks for everyones help.

This gives me an error:
class MyTestClass : IReleaseMethods #if DEBUG , IDebugMethods #endif
{...}

I have tried different variantions of this with the same problem, such
as:
class MyTestClass : IReleaseMethods , #if DEBUG IDebugMethods #endif
class MyTestClass #if DEBUG : IReleaseMethods , IDebugMethods #endif

Re: Implement Interface in debug build only

Hello ramhog,

Just check your code, everything works fine

u can use the following code to check it

public interface IMyInterface
{
void MethodOne();
void MethodTwo();
}

class Program
#if DEBUG
: IMyInterface
#endif

{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
}
#if DEBUG

#region IMyInterface Members

public void MethodOne()
{
throw new NotImplementedE xception();
}

public void MethodTwo()
{
throw new NotImplementedE xception();
}

#endregion

#endif

Yes, it would.

I have tried different variantions of this with the same problem, such
as:
class MyTestClass : IReleaseMethods , #if DEBUG IDebugMethods #endif
class MyTestClass #if DEBUG : IReleaseMethods , IDebugMethods #endif

You didn't try the code as posted though, I suspect.

Pre-processor directives need to be on lines on their own. Use exactly
the code Ignacio posted instead.

To be honest though, I'd try to avoid having this kind of thing in the
first place. It sounds like a recipe for problems.

Thank you very much all of you for your help. I didn't realize the
directive had to be on it's own line, that worked good.

class MyTestClass : IReleaseMethods
#if DEBUG
, ITestMethods
#endif
