An alternative is to use the ConditionalAttribute. The conditional attribute works in a similar way.

#define TRACE_ON
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;

public class Trace 
{
    [Conditional("TRACE_ON")]
    public static void Msg(string msg)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(msg);
    }
}  

public class ProgramClass
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Trace.Msg("Now in Main...");
        Console.WriteLine("Done.");
    }
}
