You should be able to check whether conditional code will be compiled - if it is not being compiled it will be greyed-out in the IDE. If you really want to use 'TEST' then add it to the 'Conditional Compilation symbols in the 'Debug' configuration of the project properties 'Build' page


You can also test for debug mode
if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached)
{
     DoSomething()
}
else
{
     DoSomethingElse()
}
