Building in Visual Studio
Visual Studio provides tools for testing and debugging applications as you build them. When you create a project, default project configurations are defined and default solution build configurations are assigned to provide context for builds. You can edit these default configurations, and you can create new configurations by saving modified copies of the default ones.
