Building in Visual Studio
Visual Studio 2005 provides tools for continuously testing and debugging applications as you build them. As each Visual Studio project is created, default project configurations are defined and default solution build configurations are assigned to provide context as they are built. Development teams can edit these default solution and project configurations as needed, and create new configurations by saving modified copies of the default ones.
