I just downloaded and installed FinalBuilder.&nbsp; I’m trying to use it to build a VS 2005 solution (C#) that has #define statements.&nbsp; The number of options is almost overwhelming and I don’t see quickly how to start using FinalBuilder.&nbsp; Tutorials like the below would be helpful to me.  
  
- Build “HelloWorld.exe” project debug.  
- Build “HelloWorld.exe” project debug and release.  
- Build “HelloWorld.exe” project #trial and #full releases.  
- Solution editions of the above.  
  
Am I missing this info in the docs and my googling?&nbsp; Any URLs?  
  
Thanks.

And to answer your question about #defines… you can use the Microsoft C# Compiler action - have a look in the Options tab and you can define pre-processor symbols there. This is the actual command line option that FinalBuilder uses:
