Question

I have some assets which are not within the Resources directory, as I don't want the files to get bundled up in in the generated resource output.

Anyway due to this I have a line in a configuration file which reads like:

private static readonly string DataDirectory = "Assets/Data";

However this only works within the Unity Editor, when the build is done the data is not copied automatically so its a manual step and it ends up just being located at:

private static readonly string DataDirectory = "Data";

So is there any pragma directive available to work out if it is running as a release or not?

You can use preprocessor tags like this:

#if UNITY_EDITOR
private static readonly string DataDirectory = "Assets/Data";
#else
private static readonly string DataDirectory = "Data";
#endif

See the Platform Dependent Compilation page in the manual

But like JD said, Application.dataPath is the easiest way.
