Can I include/exclude files for only ARM builds of my app RRS feed

  • Question

  • I have an application and I would like to have a slightly different set of 'Assets' for the Win32 and ARM versions.  Is there a way to do that short of creating 2 projects?

    Thanks.

  • I am using the "Show All Files" option to add files to my Assets folder.  If I have an asset already included, then I can right click on it and it will bring up a 'Properties' dialog, and in that dialog, I can specify which builds are to include this file.  The thing that confused me at first is that sometimes then I chose the properties of a file, I did NOT get the 'Properties' dialog, rather it showed the properties in the panel on the left and although I could include or exclude the file, there was no way to specify what builds.  In order to see the 'Properties' dialog, I found that I first had to include the file (which would include it in all builds).  Then I would ALSO have to un-check the 'Show All Files' option and re-check it before I was able to get the dialog.  This whole thing seems to be somewhat bugged to me, but since I can now get it to work, I can live with it.

    Thanks.

  • Hi John Gaby,

    I think Build Configuration can accomplish this. You can also share you solution help so it might help others in future.

    Thank you!
