VB2010 Configuration Manager

Question

I added a new application recently and I find there is no Configuration Manager.  I went to Tools-->Settings and checked Expert Settings, but Configuration Manager does not show up in the Build Menu. It only shows Build Project and Publish Project.  I also tried to add Configuration Manager to the tool bar - it was added, but it is grayed out.  I've surfed the Configuration Manager topic on other forums but they seem to be discussing implementation of a configuration manager IN an application.  I'm trying to get the compiler Configuration Manager to show up.  By the way, all of my 8 other VB 2010 Express projects have a Configuration Manager option in the build menu.  However, none of those 8 projects were started as a new application in VB2010 - they were all conversions of old VB6 applications (first converted with VB2008, and then with VB2010).


Thanks

Answer 1

under Tools >> Options >> Projects and Solutions >> General, is the Show Advanced Build Configurations checkbox checked?

Answer 2

WHOA!

That was it - I would never have figured that out - I've been stymied for weeks.

Thank you so much jwavila!
