When a C or C++ project is created, it has a Debug configuration and a Release configuration. A configuration is a collection of settings used for the project. You can easily switch many settings at once when you select a configuration.
In the Project Properties dialog box, you can modify Build properties such as the Tool Collection to use for building the project, options for compiler, linker, and packaging and other options for running, debugging, and so on. The changes you make apply to the active configuration, which you can select at the top of the Project Properties dialog box. You can apply the changes to all configurations by selecting the configuration named <All Configurations>.
