Different AutoLogin URL in Debug and Release mode

Question

Is it possible to simplify this in one single line of code?

Thanks.

public static string BuildAutoLoginUrl(string username)
{
#if DEBUG
   return @"/Account/AutoLogin?key=" + GetAutoLoginKey(username);
#else
   return @"http://www.domain.com/Account/AutoLogin?key=" + GetAutoLoginKey(username);
#endif
}

In release mode, is `www.domain.com` the URL the auto-login request is coming from? If so, why do you not just leave it as the first line only, what is the problem with doing that? — Der Kommissar, Sep 27 '16 at 08:15
Why not read it from config, which can use transformation? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5811305/web-config-debug-release — Yahya, Sep 27 '16 at 08:17
@Yahya: I know transformations but the question is about simplifying this in one single line of code. — abenci, Sep 27 '16 at 08:19
@Alberto that'd be just `ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["LoginURL"]`. Why would you want to hardcode URL? — Yahya, Sep 27 '16 at 08:22
Why do this at all? There is a utility function available to test local url — Mark Homer, Sep 27 '16 at 09:06
@Mark: Interesting but why I can't use something like `@"~/Account/AutoLogin?key="` for both instead? — abenci, Sep 29 '16 at 06:55

No

According to the documentation for C# preprocessor directives it states the following:

A preprocessor directive must be the only instruction on a line.

Therefore the answer is no, it's not possible to reduce the code down to one line.
