Setting values ​​at compile time in Visual Studio (C #)?

Question

I am currently working with C # and developing several Silverlight applications that use sharepoint web services as data sources.

Sharepoint administrators decided that in order to “segregate” users, they had to create the same sharepoint list several times and provide users from each branch with access to the corresponding list for this branch.

This poses a small problem, because I have to install guid for sharepoint lists for each branch and compile 5 different versions of the same application.

In the end, I decided to create a ListProperties class and pass the name of the current branch to the method so that it returns the right guid.

So, now I set the variable (branch) to " BRANCH-A ", compiles and renames the application to "AppBranchA.xap". Then do the same for each branch.

Is there a way to pass a string at compile time and have a variable (and hopefully the application name too) automatically change?

I am ready to listen to other ways to manage multiple assemblies at once.

thank,

Answer 1

One way to get close to this is to use a conditional compilation symbol to control which value is GUIDused to set specific branching properties. for instance

class ListProperties {

#if BRANCH-A
  public static readonly GUID BranchGuid = "Guid #1";
#endif

#if BRANCH-B
  public static readonly GUID BranchGuid = "Guid #2";
#endif

}
