Solution Build Configurations

As with other projects that you build in Visual Studio, you can use Configuration Manager to specify solution build configurations. Solution build configurations enable you to determine which projects to include in builds of a solution and if they will be deployed. BizTalk Server supports both Debug and Release build configurations.

A solution build configuration with a check mark in the Build column enables you to build a solution and to generate an assembly when you are finished. If a check mark is also present in the Deploy column, then the application will be deployed based on deployment settings in the Project Designer.

A complete reference to Configuration Manager and the configuration options provided by the dialog box can be found at the following reference link: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=125365.
