Solution Configuration but not Platform in VS2010 Toolbar

Visual Studio-2010 Problem Overview


I'm running VS2010 premium. One of my teammates has both the solution configuration drop-down (Debug, Release) AND the platform (Win32, x64) combo-boxes in his toolbar. I don't.

For a reference, I'm hoping to see:

Instead, I only see the first combo-box. What do I need to configure to make the second one appear?

I had the same issue, here is how I got the menu back

  1. On the menubar go to View → Toolbars → Customize...
  2. Click on the "Commands" tab
  3. Select the "Toolbar" radio button and find "Standard" in the drop down list Customize dialog
  4. Click the "Add Command..." button
  5. Select the "Build" category
  6. Find and select the "Solution Platforms" command and click "OK" Add Command dialog
  7. Move your new command to a comfortable place on your toolbar using "Move Up" and "Move Down"
  8. Enjoy not having to dig through Solution Properties to change the platform
