Question

How do I change my Build so that it is release and not debug?

I scoured help but apparently I'm missing something? All that matza I ate during Pessach caused all my blood to head south to digest it and left none for my brain.

Answer 1

I changed it in project properties from debug to release.  However, when I built it, the application does not show up in /bin/release

Answer 2

To compile an application with the Release configuration, first make sure the Standard toolbar is being displayed in VS. If you hover over the dropdown-list that has "Debug" listed in it, the tooltip should display "Solution Configurations". Click and select "Release", then re-compile your application.

If you don't see it, then reset your toolbars.

Answer 3

I have team edition beta 2.  I reset the standard toolbar.  There is a start debugging button and a stop debugging  button, but o dropdown list of any kind.

I agree.  I don't have the "Solution Configurations" item either.

Answer 5

What version of Visual Studio (Express, Standard, etc) are you using?  What profile do you have selected?

team edition beta 2

Answer 7

Go to Tools | Options.
Under Projects and Solutions check Show advanced build options.
The Build menu should now have the Configuration Manager.
