how to enable the dropdown that shows build mode 'release/debug' ? I have set the 'show advanced build configuration' option. I added the 'configuration manager' to the build toolbar but in previous versions we could do this by using the drop-down control.
TIA
In Solution Explorer, right-click the project and choose Properties. In the side pane, choose Build (or Compile in Visual Basic). In the Configuration list at the top, choose Debug or Release. Select the Advanced button (or the Advanced Compile Options button in Visual Basic).
You can use the Configuration Manager dialog box to select or modify existing build configurations, or to create new ones. To open the Configuration Manager dialog box, in Solution Explorer, right-click on the solution node to open the shortcut menu for the solution, and then choose Configuration Manager.
The project configuration determines what build settings and compiler options are used when you build the project. To create, select, modify, or delete a configuration, you can use the Configuration Manager. To open it, on the menu bar, choose Build > Configuration Manager, or just type Configuration in the search box.
There is no difference in functionality of a debug dll and a release dll. usually, when we compile code in debug mode, we have a corresponding . pdb (program database) file.
The easiest way to fix this is to reset your settings to the General or C# profile.
Tools -> Import / Export Settings
The VB profile will hide this toolbar by default
Add the Solution Configurations option to the build toolbar, that should give you the dropdown.
