Custom constants

[J. van Herten]

I want to use Custom constants to set several directives to use in the
application.
To do so I can use the Custom constants in the Build of the Configuration
Properties.

The settings I want is specificaly per customer. So customer one is using a
download, then I set blnDownload = True. But customer two is not using
download, then I set blnDownload = False.

Question:
How can I set my environment to customer one and my college his environment
to customer two whithout changing the Custom constans in the Configuration
Properties?

Re: Custom constants

J. van Herten,
Have you tried to define multiple Configurations?

Use "Build - Configuration Manager" then select "<New>" in the dropdown to
create "Customer Download" and "Customer Non Download" configurations (you
may want to consider 4 configurations, that varies both Download & Debug), I
would create the configurations for both the solution & projects in the
solution.

In the Customer Download configuration set blnDownload = True.

In the Customer Non Download configuration set blnDownload = False.

Then you can select the Customer Download configuration & your colleague can
select the Customer non Download configuration.

Note: I would consider renaming or removing the standard Debug & Release
configurations using "<edit>" dropdown in the "Build - Configuration
Manager" to avoid confusion.

Hope this helps
Jay
