I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite.
The "Configuration Manager" menu item is missing for me. I've assigned a keyboard shortcut to the Configuration Manager, but it doesn't have any effect (actually, it produces a "ding" sound).
How do I get the Configuration Manager to work for all projects?
The answer is: Make sure the following option is checked:
Tools ⇒ Options ⇒ Projects and Solutions ⇒ General ⇒ "Show advanced build configurations".
Visual Studio 2008 will only show the Configuration Manager if the solution node is visible in Solution Explorer. If you only have a single project, the solution will not show hence you can't see the Configuration Manager.
To solve this, make sure the following option is checked (in addition to Timwi's answer): menu Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> General -> Always Show Solution
