A project that doesn't switch to release mode

[JB]

Hi All,

I'm experiencing a strange behaviour in VB.NET 2005.
My solution contains 4 Projects. When I want to compile a release
version, I go to the Configuration Manager and change the Active
Solution Configuration to Release. I see all my project in the list
changing to Release.
However 1 of them (it's a class library) doesn't really change to
release and the DLL file is still generated in the Debug folder.
Furthermore when I go to the property page of that project, the
Compile Tab doesn't show the Active Configuration and Platform combo
box like the other projects do. In fact even when I manually change
the Build Output Path to Release, the DLL still gets generated in
Debug!

I'm obviously missing something...
Can somebody shade a light?

Thanks
JB

I would stop using the GUI.

It's too slow, and prone to issues.

Check
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet/msg/5c2634d01c5cf829?hl=en

for a .bat file that uses MSBUILD to build release versions.
