Custom build configurations

[joebalt]

Hello All,

I have a solution in VS.NET that has 4 custom build configurations. i.e. Debug-Dev, Release-Test, Release-Production, Debug-Developers.

How do I get VBP 5.5 to recognize these build configurations in a "Build VS.NET" step? right now it fails saying that build configuration is unknown.

Thanks

When building a solution, you must specify a valid solution configuration; when building an individual project, you need to specify a valid project configuration. I added a 'Debug-Dev' solution configuration to a VS.NET 2003 solution and the Make VS.NET action was able to build that sol cfg. Are you specifying a valid solution configuration (see the Make VS.NET help topics for more details)? If so, please post the .sln file + .bld file that is building it or send to support@kinook.com.

Will VBP ever read the .sln file and have my custom configs in the drop down box?

I got it to work by manually typing in the custom config name.

Thanks.

We do plan to support populating the list from the specified file in a future release.
