UNITY_EDITOR define grayed-out code

Unity Engine
1

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 Developer Community

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.
