-define (Visual Basic)
Defines conditional compiler constants.
Syntax
-define:["]symbol[=value][,symbol[=value]]["]
or
-d:["]symbol[=value][,symbol[=value]]["]
Arguments
Term | Definition |
---|---|
symbol |
Required. The symbol to define. |
value |
Optional. The value to assign symbol . If value is a string, it must be surrounded by backslash/quotation-mark sequences (\") instead of quotation marks. If no value is specified, then it is taken to be True. |
Remarks
The -define
option has an effect similar to using a #Const
preprocessor directive in your source file, except that constants defined with -define
are public and apply to all files in the project.
You can use symbols created by this option with the #If
...Then
...#Else
directive to compile source files conditionally.
-d
is the short form of -define
.
You can define multiple symbols with -define
by using a comma to separate symbol definitions.
To set -define in the Visual Studio integrated development environment |
---|
1. Have a project selected in Solution Explorer. On the Project menu, click Properties. 2. Click the Compile tab. 3. Click Advanced. 4. Modify the value in the Custom Constants box. |
Example
The following code defines and then uses two conditional compiler constants.
' Vbc /define:DEBUGMODE=True,TRAPERRORS=False test.vb
Sub mysub()
#If debugmode Then
' Insert debug statements here.
MsgBox("debug mode")
#Else
' Insert default statements here.
#End If
End Sub
