C# IDE ?

Why is it that I cannot see what mode I am in in C# like I can with C++.
In C++ there is a combobox with Debug or Release and you can change
between them. C# does not seem to have this ability though there is a
release and a debug folder and both seem to be created when the program
is compiled. I am using C# Express 2008.

In the full Visual Studio IDE there is a combo on the Standard toolbar like
you described. I've never used the Express versions, but if you can
right-click and customize the toolbar, look under the Build commands for (I
believe) the Solutions Configurations item.
 
It is Express Edition that lacks this feature; Visual Studio (with C#
etc) has full configuration support.

So does the Express IDE always build both whenever you compile?

I have the full version of VSTS 2008 and the configuration drop down
was not visible by default. I had to specifically add it to the
toolbar.

Don't know if that's true for everyone.

I am using VS2008 C# Express, and I've got the combox with debug/release
option.
But I can't rember if it was default or if it was something I had to select
in customize/options?
Can't find it either :(

Like others have said, it's default in the full version. I also have
Express 2008 (SP1) running and it also has the combobox. You can find
(edit/add) it by right-clicking a toolbar, Customize, Commands tab,
Rearrange Commands, select Toolbars. I have it on the Standard toolbar
and it is called "Solution Configurations"

But it may just be hiding behind that extension thingy (small drop-down
button) on the far right of your toolbar(s).

Thanks all for the great information. I was able to get it to work on
one of my PCs, but on the other one when I go to tools->Import and
Export settings, I get an exception error. Anyone know why and how I
can fix this or do I need to reinstall C# express.
