Thank you like you can’t believe. I have been scouring MS for an answer to this for an hour. I have also been scouring the net. Thank god I stumbled onto this post. And, the dropdown was disabled after I finally got it to appear, thanks to Peter, it is functional too.

Thanks again for your help!!

Thanks for the help. Judging from the response, Peter and Carlos’s posting ““Show advanced build
configurations” in Tools, Options menu, Project and Solutions, General section.” fixed the problem.

My own solution was Solution Properties, Tab Compile, button Advanced Compile Options, Uncheck Enable Optimizations. Which BTW, seems to get checked when the project is zipped, then unzipped in any location other than its original folder structure.

I have not found this solution listed on any other website.

Thank you so much Peter (and Carlos) for the tip on enabling the Solution Configurations. I was frustrated that it wasn’t there by default and even more frustrated that it was disabled after I added it to my toolbar! It took quite a bit of searching to come across this solution…

Thanks, I couldn’t find the right setting until I came across your tip. I can’t believe MS didn’t make it a default setting! What a waste of 15mins of my time.

I would compare project settings for DEBUG configuration on boths PCs. DEBUG and RELEASE are only names, it doesn’t mean they always produce debug or release code. They do by default but maybe you have changed something. See project options - Compile - Advanced compile options. Also compare VS 2005 options: Go to Tools - Options. Check “Show all settings” at the bottom of dialog. Then navigate to Debugging branch.

I need some help!
I have a vb.net , vs 2005 application, when I build on one machine it produces the required executable in debug mode but when I rebuild the same solution on another pc , it produces an executable which is quarter the size (as in release mode) although the solution is set to DEBUG mode on both PCs.
Both PCs are runing under Windows 2003 server and both have the same version of VB.net
All help appriciated.
Many Thanks
Mo

Before you reset your settings if the list is disabled, try to check “Show advanced build
configurations” in Tools, Options menu, Project and Solutions, General section. Thanks Carlos J. Quintero for this tip.
