Can I set up a #NOTEMBEDDED definition in a project so that when I'm debugging and I hit a
#if NOTEMBEDDED
#endif
in various source files it will acknowledge it and fall into the if statement?

Add it to the project settings, right-click on the project, select Properties, under the Build tab there's a "Conditional compilation symbols".
You enter your conditional there.

Go to the Build tab in Project Properties and add it to the Conditional compilation symbols box.

I am trying to figure out how to disable this IF statement so the code doesn't run unfortuanately I dont know what this IF statement is called so Im having trouble googling it.
I have tried searching for solutions online and looking in files.
That's a C# conditional compilation directive.
If you right-click on your project in Solution Explorer and go to Build > General > Conditional compilation symbols, you'll see the 'symbols' that are set and can be used in those #if statements. Typically you configure different symbols depending on the type of build you're running.

VS Code C# XML Documentation [duplicate]

XML Auto Commenting C# in Visual Studio Code
(3 answers)
Closed 8 months ago.
I'm on Visual Studio Code and I'm wondering what the shortcut is for creating documentation in C# for functions, variables, and classes since in VS Studio it's just pressing / three times.
Update Dec 16, 2020
This is now included in the default c# extension as of v1.23.8
You'll have to go to Preferences > Text Editor > Formatting and enable Format on Type
Or add the following in your settings.json file:
{
"editor.formatOnType": true,
}
Then adding three slashes /// above a member will auto-generate the XML doc comment.
I didn't find any shortcuts in VS Code. I tried search on Stack but it gave me "how to toggle the function comment on hover".
I looked up on the extensions and saw this

It works similar to Visual Studio where you have to press / three times.

I've seen a video here where a coder types "ctor" at 4:42, and the IDE automatically creates a constructor for him.
I tried to do the same, but for me, the IDE doesn't do that. IntelliSense does offer "ctor", but when I select it, nothing happens.
What is the trick that I'm missing?
Can you please check your Code Snippets Manager (Ctrl + K, Ctrl + B) if there are Visual C# file in Csharp language?
Code Snippets Manager
Go to menu Tools → Options → Text Editor → C# → IntelliSense, under the Snippets behaviour section: Make sure "Always include snippets" is selected.

Is there a way to apply the reference " using mysql.data " to all windows forms in a project by not going to each form and typing it manually? Like an option from the solution explorer.
Here's one approach:
Edit -> Find And Replace -> Find in Files
in Find what box write: using System;
in Replace with box write: using System;\r\nusing mysql.data;
in Find options group check use regular expressions and in Look at these file types add *.cs
