    Conditional Compilation

    Is there a #define equivalent for VB.NET? I'm wanting to begin
    implementation of a new feature in my software, but to hide it in release
    builds until it's ready. Any ideas?

      If all you want to do is differentiate between debug and release versions,
      then:

      #If DEBUG Then
      ' stuff you want to hide
      #End If

                  Robin,
                  In addition to #If DEBUG Then

                  There is also a Conditional attribute which I find handy.

                  <Conditional("D EBUG")> _
                  Public Sub Test()
                  End Sub

                  The Test sub will always be created, however it will conditionally be called
                  based on whether its a DEBUG build or not.
