Viewing Solution Configurations with the Configuration Manager

You can edit a solution configuration by using the Configuration Manager.  You can bring up the configuration manager in several different ways.
Select it from build configuration or platform dropdowns:
From the Build menu:
Right-click the solution in Solution Explorer:
By default, the solution configuration will be mapped to corresponding build configuration and platform choices in the default child project.  For example, as you switch between Debug and Release in the solution configuration, you’ll get configurations in which the project’s build configuration is Debug or Release.
