Use the following procedures to create and modify build configurations.

1. In the Project Manager, locate and open the Build configurations node. This node represents the settings of the Base build configuration. The node lists all the build configurations as well as the option sets that have been applied by reference to any of the build configurations.
2. Each new build configuration must be based on an existing build configuration. Right-click the name of the parent configuration (such as Debug or Release) and select New Configuration. If you right-click the Build configurations node itself, the configuration you create is based on the Base configuration.
3. The New Build Configuration dialog box appears. Enter a name for the new configuration and click OK.
4. The new configuration appears in the Project Manager, nested beneath the node of its parent configuration.
   Note: You can also create a build configuration from the Configuration Manager
   dialog box. Right-click the project name in the left-hand pane, and select New Configuration from the context menu.
   Note: To rename a configuration that you have created, right-click the configuration's name in the Project Manager and select Rename. You cannot rename the Base configuration.

1. In the Project Manager, locate and open the Build configurations node.
2. Right-click the configuration you want to modify and select Edit from the context menu.
3. The Project Options dialog box is displayed with only its build-related pages available.
4. Adjust the project options on each of the build-related pages as appropriate for your needs.
5. Click OK to save.
