Preprocessor variables

AdvancedProgrammer

If you're developing for multiple platforms, you often need to write custom code for each platform. In most cases, the best way to do this is to use Platform.Type and GraphicsDevice.Platform. Alternatively, you can use preprocessor variables.

Warning

We recommend you avoid using preprocessor variables where possible, and instead use Platform.Type and GraphicsDevice.Platform. This is because you might miss errors in your code, as only code for your target platform is checked at compile time.
