If this code is part of a form base class, you can rely on the existance of an application property. Basically, at run time, it will exist. So, you will allow the execution of this line. Otherwise, you just skip that line.

If this code is only present on one or a few forms only, then, you may revise this approach on how it could be made generic and then refer to the paragraph above.
