In web developer express 2008 there was a Build option in the menu.
In web developer express 2010 it is not in the menu anymore, and under the Debug menu option I can only make a Debug build.
What is the new way to make a build release in 2010?

Select "Tools" -> "Settings" -> "Expert Settings".
This will enable "Build" -> "Configuration Manager".
There will be more folks asking the same question (it took me some time to figure this out), let's make this public info.
On the screen capture you posted, there is a "Configuration Manager" option on the menu. Try looking there for release vs debug build settings, including the current/active configuration.

I have an netstandard2.1 Project in my Solution that always starts even when I start debugging another project. I can enable this in Properties in the Solution explorer.
Now I added a .NET 6.0 project to the solution and I want the same behaviour. But I don't know where to enable this feature.
How can I activate the feature?
If I understand correctly you are looking for VS feature multiple startup projects.
To select multiple projects as startup you can right-click on the solution item in the solution explorer, select "Properties" and then under "Common Properties" -> "Startup Project" click on "Multiple startup projects" and select needed ones:
I am using VS2015 and am connected to my TFS. However when i click Team Explorer/Builds, the "New Build Definition" button does not show up. The strange thing is this all works in VS2013. Is there a toolkit i am possibly missing or is the button hidden? Not sure what i could be overlooking for the button to not show up in one version and show up in the other...
Open page Team Foundation Server in browser. And open your project. And find tab Build.
You need to update the application VS2015.
Or open in VS TeamExplorer then Builds and:
Build Definitions -> Actions -> Security...
and configure security access control.
Make sure you have expanded the Build Definitions by clicking the triangle:
I use. VS 2013 Express
When debugging, I need to stop automatically on exceptions.
try to follow this.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d14azbfh.aspx#AddExceptionsCommand
It says I need to add Exceptions command to the Debug menu
On the Tools menu, click Customize.
The Customize dialog box appears.
Click the Commands tab and, in the Menu bar list, click Debug.
Click Add Command.
In Categories in the Add Command dialog box, click Debug.
In Commands, click Exceptions and then click OK.
But in stage 6, in Commands there is no Exeptions
Also I tried to remove Enable just my code, And it didn't work.
Just a FYI ---
Im am using VS Express 2010 (VB) and didn't see the debug exceptions.
Based on the screen shot above I just pushed CRLT-ALT-E and it opened.. (!)
Its a bit unclear to me, if VB 2010 Express has this option or not, or how to unhide it, but the key click combo opened it.
I was then able to turn off the option I needed
In my case the "PInvokeStackImbalance"

Another user has reported the missing 'exceptions' on the 'debug' menu to Microsoft and actually got an acknowlegement from Microsoft (though not from the product team and not confirmation that it is a bug).
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/882780/exceptions-comman-missing-in-vs-2013-express-for-web
For what it's worth, you can add your vote to this report at that site; I'm experiencing this problem and I have done so too.
Here's a potential work-around: the 'exceptions' is present in the Visual Studio Express for Desktop. And you can install that edition side-by-side with Web edition. If you can figure out a way to invoke your project executable from the debugger in the Desktop edition, you'd have control over exceptions there.
The exceptions menu isn't shown in Visual Studio Web Developer Express. It is only shown in Visual C# Express.
You can however break on all exceptions. You can try to turn off "Just My Code" debugging, which will catch exceptions thrown in CLR code and linked libraries.
To do this, open Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> General, and uncheck "Just My Code" (or Enable Just My Code).
if it doesn't work try
Debug -> Exceptions -> Common Language Runtime Exceptions - check "when thrown"
if you don't see exceptions try to change your settings following this guide
Refer here for documentation.
update
if it still not working try this
Tools menu >> Import and Export Settings >> Reset all settings. Then choose C# Development Environment.
Many of the customization and integration features for Visual Studio's IDE are not available in the free Express editions, but you should be able to get to the Exceptions menu easily enough without using them.
Press F5 to start debugging, then select Debug / Exceptions... Turn on the check box for "C++ Exceptions" "Thrown". Hit "OK"
I have read this article but it applies to web projects with a .csproj... What about a 'web site'?
http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=15671
People at work here tell me to just response.write my way to debug the web sites but I really miss the attach to process that is in the professional edition of vs2010.. or maybe I have to get used to response.write debugging?
(Reason I am not debugging is ektron 8.0 does not compile is vs2010.. so I must attach to process.. or use vs2008)
Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition supports Attach to process but it is available only in Expert Settings.
Go to Tools->Settings->Expert Settings.
After this change, you should see Attach to Process button in Debug menu.
It isn't available for VS2100 Express. Check the link. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/c6wf8e4z(v=vs.100).aspx
An option for websites hosted on another application (Like IIS) is to use the property pages.
Right Click on Project/Website in Solution Explorer->Property Pages->Start Options
Launch VS2010 Express (or VS2012 Express) as Administrator
Set "Start Action" radio-button to "Don't open a page. Wait for a request from an external application."
Set "Server" radio-button to "Use Custom Server"
Set the "Base URL" textbox to your site url.
Verify the Debuggers: ASP.NET option is checked.
Hit F5 to launch the debugger, then request the page in the browser.
Then, linking to the website is as easy as pressing the play-debug button and navigating to your url.
NB: This was tested in VS Express for Web 2012 (ver. 11.0.50727.1) on a Web Site project.
Just like said in the post above, you can use "Attach to process" in visual studio express. But it's not necessary to change your settings to "expert settings". All you have to do is add the command to the debug menu.
Tools-> Customize -> Commands -> Menu bar: Debug -> Add Command... -> Debug -> Attach to Process
Try this:
right click on toolbar/menu Customize/tab Commands/button Add Command/left list Debug/right list Attach to Process.../button OK/button Close.
for me works crtl-alt-p shortcut too.
.. voila!
I wish to change the target CPU settings from "Any CPU" to "x86" in Visual Studio 2010.
I read on another website that I need to do the following:
Go to the startup project of your program.
Open the properties window.
Click the compile tab.
Click advanced compile options.
Change the target CPU options to x86.
But I don't see the "compile" tab anywhere in the properties.
Please help me at the earliest.
Update: I do see a platform dropdown, but that contains nothing apart from "Any CPU",
.
I believe the reason you don't see the Compile tab in the project properties is because you're using the Express edition. Optimization for a specific CPU type is not offically supported in this edition. However, you should be able to change the active solution platform in the following way:
From the "Tools" menu, select the "Options" item, and then select the "Projects and Solutions" option in the listbox on the left-hand side of the Options dialog. (You might have to check "Show all settings" first.) Check the box that says "Show advanced build configurations":
Then, on the "Build" menu, see if you have an item called "Configuration Manager". If not, you need to add the item to the menu (right-click on any area in the toolbar and choose "Customize" at the bottom of the list).
Once you've opened the Configuration Manager dialog, go to the "Active solution platform" drop-down box and choose "New". From the "New Solution Platform" dialog that appears, you should be able to choose "x86" from the first drop-down box.
Alternatively, it looks like you can manually edit the project file to specify the CPU type. See Changing the target CPU in VB Express 2008. It looks like it amounts to simply changing the <PlatformTarget> under the first <PropertyGroup> section to "x86".
To make the Build menu bar appear on your Visual Studio 2010, go to menu Tools -> Settings -> check Expert Settings. So later on you can use Configuration Manager.
I don't have Visual Studio 2010 right now, but in Visual Studio 2008, you have to first add a configuration through Build -> Configuration Manager.
After you have added the configuration, you can simply select the Active Configuration through the drop down menu.
