Debug mode question

[ETFVoyageur]

Do I have any control over what happens during a Debug Mode build, such as being able to define preprocessor symbols? Will Debug Mode builds automatically define some preprocessor symbol denoting that it is a debug build?

The most important question is how to conditionally compile debugging code in my indicator.

=====

A related question -- is there any way with NT8 to do the equivalent of defining symbols in the Visual Studio project? The goal is to be able to define a small number of #defines in one place and have all of my indicators see those definitions. C# has no native way to handle that, so it is up to the build environment.

No, you cannot define your own preprocessor symbols for the debug build as the Custom project is not used to actually build the Custom.DLL when you compile NinjaScript.

With that said, the DEBUG symbol is defined when you have generated a debug build, so the following would work

#if DEBUG
	Print("Debug");
#endif
