How can I build in release in Visual Studio 2010 (C# Express)?

Question

I'm used to VS2008, in which a release build would be built upon pressing F6, or in the menu Build > Build Solution.

The build menu is gone, and although I can build the solution (through F6), it only builds the debug.

I assume there is some kind of configuration manager now, but I can't find it anywhere.

Answer 1

If you have no Build Menu in Visual Studio 2010 Express, go to the menu Tools -> Settings -> select 'Expert Settings'

Answer 2

Right-click solution > Configuration manager. Sorry for not looking more before asking.
