VS2005 Buiild Options

Sorry to ask such a simple question, but is there a setting somewhere to
get my Build/Release drop down back that was in 2003? I really miss it.

You can place the Configuration drop down list on toolbar:
1. Go to tools Tools - Customize... (or right-click on any toolbar and
Customize...)
2. Switch to "Commands" tab.
3. Select "Build" in Categories.
4. Select "Solution Configurations" under Commands.
5. Drag and drop it on the toolbar where you wish this drop down list to
appear.

So I can select the solution configurations and drag it to my build
toolbar. It is greyed out though. Any idea?

I had the same situation. I tried manually adding the Build dropdown
back to the toolbar. I eventually had to do what is described in the
link I posted that you say does not help.

When I installed VS2005 I asked to setup the Visual Basic development
environment not knowing all of the ramifications, one of which is there
is no Build type selector dropdown on the toolbar. I was able to
restore my environment by following the instructions in that link,
notably:

Tools, Import and Export Settings
Choose Restore all settings
Save your current settings if desired
Choose General Development Settings and Finish.

Thanks for beating me on the head to get me to understand your orginal
post. Read through it w/o understanding standing it. You have solved
my problem and life is now good...

Thanks!

Hi guys I'm trying to migrate to VS2005... I've managed to do that, but realised I'd opened my web projects as file projects, and I'm getting the error about network BIOS command limit. Anyway, I decided to have a go at loading them as web projects from our Win2k3 server. It gets so far and then says "The web server does not appear to have FrontPage server extensions installed".

Is it me or is the speed of VS2005 actually slower than VS2003? The startup is pretty bad - even though I changed VS to display an empty environment. When I create a new form and want to change its size: while I am resizing, an hour glass comes up for a few seconds. There a lot of other slowdowns all over the system. It seems like it the hard drive kicks in really hard. Now I did have the VS2005 beta installed, but I uninstalled it...

There appears to be a REALLY annoying bug in VS2005: periodically when you're rebuilding an ASPNET2 website which uses App_Code stuff the compiler will fail to create the dynamic assembly or not be able to copy it to the bin directory or something.

When I installed VS2005 on my own computer I nominated VB as the default language. I have also worked on VS2005 on another computer where C# was the default language. But sometimes I want to use C#. How do I change the IDE to work with C#? I can see a few options in the Tools/Options menu, but the result is not the same as it looked on the other computer I worked on. Surely I don't have to uninstall/reinstall!?
