-In Visual Studio, the solution configuration and platform are set by a drop-down box on the top toolbar. If you edit the configuration, the **** dialog appears, and you can see the project configurations that build for each solution configuration. The project configurations are often the same as the solution configuration, but they can be different. You might change the project configurations independently for various reasons such as for performance. For example, you might select the `Release` configuration of some of the projects in the solution even in the `Debug` solution configuration, if they're not the focus of a current active development and debugging. See [Create and edit configurations](../../ide/how-to-create-and-edit-configurations.md).
