    [2005] really simple question - release/debug mode

    I don't see the dropdown to switch modes between debug/release. Where is it?

    Welcome to 2005. I was surprised by that yesterday. It isn't there anymore. If you build it, you get both Debug and Release versions.
    My usual boring signature: Nothing

    And is it normal for debug.writeline messages to go to immediate window rather than output window. This stumped me for awhile...

    Is there some sort of option in the IDE? I'm not sure about the full versions, but in the C# Express edition at least, there is a "redirect all Output Window text to the Immediate Window" option.

    There is also the option (again with C# Express) to enable the Debug and Release drop-downs by selecting:

    Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> General -> Show advanced build configurations.


    Hopefully that might be relevant to the version of VB that you have.
