I've noticed that solutions with VB projects cannot be "batch" built. I
like the "batch build" option available for solutions with C# and ATL
COM projects because it allows me to easily pick a subset of projects
to build. Particularly it allows me to pick both debug and release
builds and build them all with a "single" click.

Is there any option for VB projects that will allow the same behavior
at the solution level for solutions with VB projects? This is merely a
convenience question... Thanks!

Hi Edwin,

This is a known issue to the VB.NET project, the VB project system doesn't
handle batch building(it is by design). So when a VB project is added to a
solution, the Batch Build feature is not available in the VS.NET IDE.

If you want to build your VB project with different build configurations
once, I suggest you can write a VSMacro to build the project, then change
the active solution configuration and build it again...

Thanks for your understanding!

Best regards,

Gary Chang
