# BurstDiscard attribute
If you're running C# code not inside Burst-compiled code, you might want to use managed objects, but not compile these portions of code within Burst. To do this, use the `[BurstDiscard]` attribute on a method:
```c#
[BurstCompile]
public struct MyJob : IJob
{
public void Execute()
{
// Only executed when running from a full .NET runtime
// this method call will be discard when compiling this job with
// [BurstCompile] attribute
MethodToDiscard();
}
[BurstDiscard]
private static void MethodToDiscard(int arg)
{
Debug.Log($"This is a test: {arg}");
}
}
```
>[!NOTE]
>A method with `[BurstDiscard]` can't have a return value.
You can use a `ref` or `out` parameter, which indicates whether the code is running on Burst or managed:
```c#
[BurstDiscard]
private static void SetIfManaged(ref bool b) => b = false;
private static bool IsBurst()
{
var b = true;
SetIfManaged(ref b);
return b;
}
```
