You can do something like:

#if DEBUG
// Debug Code

#else
// Release Code

#endif

I use this in WCF services to run it as a console application when debugging, but as a Windows service in the release

Read this blog post If youre using "#if DEBUG", Youre Doing It Wrong , the author suggests using System.Diagnostics.ConditionalAttribute:

[Conditional("DEBUG")]
private static void DebugMethod()
{
    // Debugging code
}
