Related to Visual Studio 6.0

Question

I am working on microsoft visual studio 6.0

There are 2 dsp files namely, 1). A.dsp 2). B.dsp

I set A.dsp as my ACTIVE PROJECT and chosen configuration as "Debug_mode2" [there r two debug modes available: Debug_mode1, Debug_mode2 under configuration]...and B.dsp is dependent[Similarly to A.dsp, My B.dsp is also having 2 Debug modes: Debug_mode1, Debug_mode2 under configuration].

Now, The problem is...When I am trying to rebuild A.dsp file, it is selecting "Debug_mode1" of B.dsp and trying to build B.dsp as well....BUT I want that Debug_mode2 of B.dsp should be selected and then build B.dsp.

Thanks.

I dont know how to change this default behaviour.

Answer 1

You can't do this. And not only in VS6, recent versions of VS handle the configurations just the same way AFAIK.

What you can do however is rename your Debug_mode2 config of B.dsp to Debug_mode1.
