Having trouble, batch build VB 2008 Pro
-
I seem to be having trouble with the batch build. While I can get the item in the build menu, it remains grayed out. I set the solution properties to multiple configurations, but it doesn't stick, and I can't get it to build both the release and debug versions at the same time. I can change configurations and do each one individually, but no batch.

I think you're misunderstanding what Batch Build does. You cannot pick the same project to be built twice. Batch Build only lets you pick which projects in your solution you can build and using which configuration (Debug, Release, CPU, custom). You cannot tell it to build the same project twice, once Debug, once Release.

But no longer in 2009...Oh? I know I'd been able to do this with VS 6. Was it taken out in VS 2008 or before? When I did batch build on VS 6, a window would come up with release and debug with checkboxes to include in the build. This window was similar to the configuration manager in VS 2008, but release and debug had separate lines whereas the one in VS 2008 has only 1 with the dropdown for debug, release and whatever else might be added.

I went back to 2003 and still couldn't do it.

I used to do it all the time in VC6. Frankly, now I don't even bother with Release until I'm ready to go to UAT and ship it.
