Verbose line output at runtime?

[softwareguy74]

It gets compiled into the app ... the parameter isn't a compile condition... it gets compiled into the code. It's a shortcut for the following:

If condition = True Then
  Debug.Writeline("Output this")
End If

It's used for the very cases you're looking at... based on some arbitrary value, output something (or don't).

Debug.WriteLineIf(someCondition,"This will get output if someCondition evaluated to True")

does the samethign as the If statement above, but condenses it to one line. (makes it easier to put in a bunch of them, or take a bunch out.

So... the question is, is what you are looking for is a conditional compiler condition? which will affect whether the code is there or not. OR, are you looking for something you can turn on or off at will at run-time?

It needs to be a run-time switch as we don't want to create to compiled versions.
