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?

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.
The standard Visual Studio toolbar contains a Start button and a solution configuration drop-down to the right of the Start button. This list allows users to choose the configuration to be started when F5 is pressed, create their own solution configurations, or edit an existing configuration.
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.

bring up Tools, Options, and go to the General section under Projects and Solutions. Find "Show advanced build configurations" and check it.
