Is it possible in C# to set such a condition that if the condition is true - compile one file;If condition is false - compile another file?

Sort of like

#ifdef DEBUG
#include Class1.cs
#else
#include Class2.cs
#endif

Or possibly set it up in project properties.

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
