Visual Studio 2005: Missing Configuration Manager Toolbar

The configuration manager toolbar is actually part of the "Standard" toolbar (Tools -> Customize). If this is missing from your standard toolbar you probably selected "Web Development Settings" like I did. To revert, do the following:

Reset Visual Studio 2005 Settings

  1. Tools -> Import and Export Settings...

  2. Reset all settings. Next

  3. Choose save settings or overwrite. Next

  4. Choose Settings. Finish. Note: General Development Settings brings back the config dropdown.


And once you are done with that you will want to add line numbers.


Do the people at Microsoft believe that web developers will never have the need to compile code for release?

In Visual Studio 2005 SP1
In the Menu Tools area right click and choose "Customize"
Click the "Command" tab
Click the "Build" Category
Choose the "Configuration Manager" from Commands and drag it to the menu tool strip you want it on.
I keep in on my standard menu tool strip.
