How to check if $(ConfigurationName) contains a string

Question

I have multi ConfigurationName: Release-2018, Release-2019, Release-2020, Debug-2018, Debug-2019, Debug-2020

How can I check if "$(ConfigurationName)" contains "Release"?

I have tried:

if "$(ConfigurationName)".Contains("Release") ....<do something>

Currently I used:

if "$(ConfigurationName)" == "Release-2018" ....<do something>

if "$(ConfigurationName)" == "Release-2019" ....<do something>

if "$(ConfigurationName)" == "Release-2020" ....<do something>

but It seems a bad solution.

Is there any function to help me?

Thank you.

A simple solution is to define Conditional compliation symbols in your Build properties for each Configuration.

Then you can run custom code section based on your symbols by conditional if-else directives.

#if YOURCFG1
Console.WriteLine("YourCfg is selected build configuration");
//<do something>
#endif
