c++ - Is there a quick way to switch the solution platform in Visual Studio 2010? -


i want compile c++ projects in 32-bit , 64-bit mode. until now, created solution configurations: in addition pre-configured "debug" , "release" configurations, had "debug x64" , "release x64" configurations set compile project x64 architecture.

however, latest project can changed in number of dimensions: not "release" vs "debug" "xp", "server03" , "newer" "exe" vs "dll" (it can compiled in both formats). because gives 2*2*3=12 configurations, adding "x64" configuration each of give whole thing absurd proportions.

that's why want use solution platform setting on. unfortunately, way change seems to click configuration dropdown list, open configuration manager there, change solution platform , click ok. takes rather long time (more doubling number of clicks). there quicker way? or alternatively, better way manage dimensions in project can change (which involve project settings , precompiler definitions)?

i'd since build complex, build script better choice handle complexity. write script using msbuild, nant, rake or whatever prefer. when want build configuration, or all, call script appropiate parameters.

my recommendation: use ironruby-albacore combo, it's straightforward , code build script in ruby, more readable xml. started here
