    vs2005 configuration selector

    I do not have a configuration selector on my vs screen

    Is this due to the fact that I selcted VB as language when I
    installed vs???

    How do I bring up the configuration selector I cannot
    see it on the menus anywhere?

    At the top of the screen (in VS) is the configuration selector... if
    you have Debug selected it builds to obj/debug and bin/debug, and if
    you have Release selected it builds to obj/release and bin/release.
    >
    The obj folder (in brief - not 100% accurate ;-p) contains blocks that
    are either being used by the IDE (designers etc), or by the compiler
    while assembling a build. The bin folder contains built code (and
    associated files). In general, it is bin/release that you want to
    xcopy / robocopy as a deployment.

    If you use msbuild (at the command-line) there are many, many more
    ways of configuring builds, e.g. publishing to other. Some of these
    are available through the IDE (or by hacking your project file by
    hand), but not quite all.

      OK then... to put it back, right click on the toolbar area and select
      Customize...
      On the Commands tab, select Build, and drag "Solution Configurations"
      onto the toolbar.

      Alternatively; Tools -Import and Export Settings... -Reset all
      Settings

      Any help?

          thanks marc, thought you had abandoned me

          I tried the customize method but for some reason the list was disabled

          So I reset the settings to C# and all is well.

          thanks mate :-)

              Glad it worked
              thought you had abandoned me
              nah - just despite all evidence to the contrary, I do occasionally put
              the computer down ;-p

              It also doesn't help that google-groups no longer flags follow-ups on
              topics you have been involved in... a real shame ;-(
