From: Barry Flynn on 23 Jun 2010 22:57 Hi In VB 2008 there seems to be three places where you can specify x86 or AnyCPU. 1. From the main IDE window, there is a platform drop down box next to the Debug/Release drop down box 2. From the Build Configuration Manager, there is an "active solution platform" at the top of the form 3. On the same form, there is a "platform" option in the grid for each project in the solution. Which one(s) of those matter? Which one(s) actually specify that you are building a project for the 32 bit platform? A semi related question. For a couple of those choices, x86 does not appear as an option until you go to the Configuration Manager, and select "new" from the "active solution platform". You can then choose x86 as the "new" platform. However, that form has a "copy settings from" field, with choices of "anycpu" (the default) or "empty". What effect does that field have on the "new x86" platform? I'm nervous about creating a new "x86 option" which in fact is a clone of the "anycpu" option. Thanks Barry
