    <p>I want to add logging or tracing to my C# application but I don't want the overhead of formatting the string or calculating values to be logged if the log verbosity level is set so low that the message will not be logged.</p> <p>In C++, you can use the preprocessor to define macros that will prevent code from being executed at all like this:</p> <pre><code>#define VLOG(level,expr) if (level &gt;= g_log.verbosity) { g_log.output &lt;&lt; expr; } </code></pre> <p>Used like this:</p> <pre><code>VLOG(5,"Expensive function call returns " &lt;&lt; ExpensiveFunctionCall()); </code></pre> <p>How do you do that in C#?</p> <p>I've read the Microsoft docs explaining the Trace and Debug facilities <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/64yxa344(VS.80).aspx" rel="noreferrer">here</a>, and they claim that using #undef DEBUG and #undef TRACE removes all tracing and debugging code from the produced executable, but does it really remove the whole call? Meaning, if I write </p> <pre><code>System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLineIf(g_log.verbosity&gt;=5,ExpensiveFunctionCall()); </code></pre> <p>it won't call my expensive function if I undefine TRACE? Or does make the call, <strong>then</strong> decide it won't trace anything?</p> <p>Anyway, even if it does remove it, this is inferior to the C++ macro because I can't make that big ugly call look like my simple VLOG() call in C++ and still avoid evaluating parameters, can I? Nor can I avoid the overhead by defining the verbosity lower at runtime like I can in C++, right?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
