conditional compilation

Question

Hi Everyone:

I am using VB.net 2008 and I am doing a conditional compilation using #Constant and #if...#Else...#endif.  I was wondering if there is any way of giving my exe filenames based on the condition. For example if I have two versions of my program (let's say Basic and Advanced), I want something like this:

#if MyVer="Basic" then

   count =10

   MyEXEFileName="Basic.exe"

#else

   count =20

   MyEXEFileName="Advanced.exe"

#endif

Thanks for your help.

I believe you can rename the output executable in a post-build step within your project.  This is in the project propeties, on the Compile tab, under the Build Events button.  This link show how to copy the results in the post-build, but renaming would be similar:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4664386/copy-bin-files-on-to-physical-file-location-on-post-build-event-in-vs2010
