Visual Studio 2008 Debug/Release Toggle

I recently switched to a new workstation and noticed Visual Studio 2008 no longer had the Debug/Release toggle in the toolbar. It turns out getting this back is not as straightforward as you would think.

Debug Release Toggle Visual Studio 2008
  • Click Tools and select Options
  • Ensure ‘Show All Settings’ is checked
  • Expand Projects and Solutions
  • Click General
  • Ensure ‘Show advanced build configurations’ is checked’

For good measure you might want to restart Visual Studio at this point.

  • Click View, Toolbars and ensure Build is checked.
  • Right click the Build Toolbar and select customize.
  • Drag “Solution Configuration” to the toolbar.
