Using MSBuild to Build Multiple Configurations

Question

Answer 1

I am not quite sure if I'd wanna go through such a convoluted configuration of the project's csproj file itself. I'd rather setup a separate MSBuild "BuildBoth.proj" file that has a specific target called "Both" that builds the solution in both configurations.

Then I'd run the command (verbosity set Minimal) to target Both

C:\Projects\experiments\BuildBoth>msbuild /v:m /target:Both BuildBoth.proj
