debug and release configurations

Hi:

I have a project that references some in-house assemblies, and in the
'debug' configuration I use the debug versions of these assemblies, but
when I switch to the 'release' configuration, I want the solution to use
the 'release' versions of the referenced assemblies.

How should I go about this?

TIA,
MartinH.

Hi Martin,

You have to include the project of the referenced assembly into your
solution and add the reference as a "Project Reference" if you want Visual
Studio to reference the appropriate assemblies for building simply by
changing the solution configuration.

Your other option is to create a custom add-in or use the Pre-build event to
swap the actual .dll being referenced with the appropriate version (not sure
if that will even work)

Your best option is probably to use a project reference.

Thanks very much for the response.

I must admit I didn't even know that a "Project Reference" existed, I
will check it out :-)

Thanks again,
Martin.

Problem: In 'solution A', 'project 1' references 'project 2'. As such, when 'solution A' is built (debug mode), project '1' creates a dll in /debug, and project '2' referneces that dll. All is good. When 'solution A' is built in release mode however, 'project 1' is recompiled and the new dll is put into '/release', but 'project 2' still references the dll from project '1's /debug folder, and as such is compiled using the older /debug version of...

Hi, my question is concerning the visual studio .net 2003 environment. In C++ projects for example, it is possible to define different postbuild codes for debug configurations and release configurations. I have tried to use different postbuild scripts for these two configurations for my C# project, but VS2003 cannot distinguis the postbuild between the two configurations. Isn't that possible for C# projects? thx a lot

Hi, Im want to release my web project and the configurations inside my web.config are very different from my development environment to my production environment. I was wondering is there a way to have the debug version use one web.config file, while the release version uses a release version of the web.config.

When I tried debugging for the first time, I pop-up asked me if I wanted to set the project to enable debugging. Now I'm ready to release and can't find anyplace to set the build to 'release'. A pointer would be appreciated. Thanks. Joe

I stumbled upon something which does not make sense "Debug class methods are not automatically suppressed by the managed c++ compiler when the project is build in release mode" Create a a Project (Windiows Forms or Console) in VS2005 using Managed C++ and put a Debug:;Assert(false) or Debug::Writeline("test") in there and then compile in Debug and release Configurations. The result is the same in both. Debug class calls are not...

When I do this, all code in the middle turns gray. I assume this is because DEBUG is not defined. But, I thought it was for debug mode. Is there something I am missing, or do people manually add DEBUG to the debug mode compilation? How do I tell the IDE which mode I am currently in (debug / release), like VC++ allows me to (it says in a toolbar which compilation mode you are currently in)? Perhaps I am merely in release mode, and thus...

When I am building a project in Visual Studio 2005, I can create references to assemblies that were built by other projects. The problem is that I don't see how to create a reference that switches between the debug and release builds of the other project, when I switch between the debug and release configurations of my parent project. That is, when I'm building, running, and of course debugging a project, I want to use the debug...
