Why is my configuration manager disabled in Visual Studio 2010?
I just started working on a new project and I can't set the build action to Debug/Release. This is a huge problem!
I have another solution on my system that, when opened, allows me to change the solution configuration. So it must have something to do with this specific solution?
(from http://www.gregcons.com/KateBlog/HowDoIMakeADebugBuild.aspx, which includes screenshots)
bring up Tools, Options, and go to the General section under Projects and Solutions. Find "Show advanced build configurations" and check it.
The right solution is to:
- Tools, Options
- Click General section under Projects and Solutions.
- Check Show advanced build configurations.
You should see the solution configuration drop-down will be enabled
