Release Build

• Wolfgang Zerzawy

  hi,
  
  I have another problem in VS2005 beta 2 in beta 1 i had in the toolbar that selection dropdown available also it is no longer there. How do i get it back (without having to use always the config manager ) . It is there if i make vs2005 reset all setting to Csharp developer but not there for VB developer.
  
  Anyone knows
  
  thanks

  My previous answer was misguiding - so let me try again
  
  The Configuration Manager does not show in the Express editions by default.  So here's what you do.
  
  1.  Go to Tools | Options menu
  2.  Check the Show All Settings checkbox at the bottom of the dialog
  3.  Go to Projects and Solutions | General
  4.  Check Show advanced build configurations
  
  You should now have the Configuration Manager show up in your Build menu.
  
  thanks.

  NO, I mean interesting because I was EXPECTING, it to be set to debug by default. And I was trying to change it to release, but it is already set to release.
  

• Danny Ah

  It's a bit more complicated than that - Release isn't normally the default configuration. When "Show advanced build configurations" is off, VS switches the configurations behind the scenes for you. When you debug, VS uses Debug and when you just build or run without the debugger attached it uses Release. At the point when you turn the option off you get the last configuration used by VS, Release in your case. But you should definitely not see the Release configuration active by default for new projects - if you do, let us know.

  Lukasz,
  
  Yes please do let the proper team know as i woul dlike those features (tha ti can customize the toolbar anyway i want  , even for VB).
  
  I tried to find them too using customize and when you selected VB profile they are just not there. Strange that some functions are just totally gone depending on what profile you select and cant even customize further the toolbar.
  
  
  Thanks,

  Hi Blisardo

  I have just upgraded to VS 2005 Express Beta2 and I can't fine where the release build option is. And help points me to the wrong place. So where can I change my build option from debug to release

  Menu: "Build | Configuration Manager..."
  and
  Menu: "Build | Batch Build..."

  That would work on 2003, but in 2005 Beta2 I only have, Build, Rebuild, Clean and Publish.
  

• Rafael Gomez

  Thanks, that works, and its interesting to see 'release build' is the default.
  

• JoeGilkey

  By "interesting" I suppose you really mean "wrong".

  Ye Debug by default on new projects and that is kind of clever.

  Normally you should be able to customize your toolbars and add those combo boxes yourself if the profile doesn't have them, but I can't find them anywhere in the customization dialog either. I'll report that to the appropriate team. For now, I guess you could try and use a different profile or use the configuration manager - sorry about the inconvenience.
  
  thanks,
  Lukasz
