UNITY_EDITOR define grayed-out code

Just had a funny encounter with Visual studio graying-out everything inside my #if UNITY_EDITOR defines.

Turns out Visual studio must be in Debug mode, not in Release mode, because macros only work for the Debug mode.

Just found this out from https://developercommunity.visualst...tor-does-not-show-editor-only-code-in/1400818

 

Omg, thank you so much! That helps.

 

Thanks for the tip!

Also if you don't see it, there is a chance the Assembly-Csharp reference project was unloaded.


in which case just RIGHT click and reload it.

 

I know that Visual Studio does not generate a csproj file for package assemblies. I had a similar issue with a module package I was using that was installed from Git that used UNITY_EDITOR defines. Going to Edit > Preferences > Generate csproj files for: git packages and then regenerating the project files seemed to fix the code being greyed out in VS.
