/ProjectConfig (devenv.exe)

  • Article

Specifies a project build configuration to be applied when you build, clean, rebuild, or deploy the project named in the /Project argument.

Syntax

devenv SolutionName {/Build|/Clean|/Deploy|/Rebuild} [SolnConfigName [/Project ProjName [/ProjectConfig ProjConfigName]] [/Out OutputFilename]]

Arguments

  • SolutionName

    Required. The full path and name of the solution file.

  • {/Build|/Clean|/Deploy|/Rebuild}

    Required. Builds, cleans, deploys, or rebuilds the project.

  • SolnConfigName

    Optional. The name of the solution configuration (such as Debug or Release) to be applied to the solution named in SolutionName. If more than one solution platform is available, you must also specify the platform (for example, Debug|Win32). If this argument is unspecified or an empty string (""), the tool uses the solution's active configuration.

  • /Project ProjName

    Optional. The path and name of a project file within the solution. You can enter the project's display name or a relative path from the SolutionName folder to the project file. You can also enter the full path and name of the project file.

  • /ProjectConfig ProjConfigName

    Optional. The project's build configuration name (such as Debug or Release) to be applied to the /Project named. If more than one solution platform is available, you must also specify the platform (for example, Debug|Win32).

  • /Out OutputFilename

    Optional. The name of a file that you want to send the tool's output to. If the file already exists, the tool appends the output to the end of the file.

Remarks

The /ProjectConfig switch must be used with the /Project switch as part of a /Build, /Clean, /Deploy, or /Rebuild command.

Enclose strings that include spaces in double quotes.

Summary information for builds, including errors, can be displayed in the command window, or in any log file specified with the /Out switch.

Example

The following command builds the project CSharpWinApp, using the Debug project build configuration within MySolution:

devenv "%USERPROFILE%\source\repos\MySolution\MySolution.sln" /build Debug /project "CSharpWinApp\CSharpWinApp.csproj" /projectconfig Debug
