Configuration Project Item Overview

Use configuration project items to create and deploy a single project using differing values for control component properties. A configuration project item is defined by profiles which are combinations of component-property-value settings. You can use multiple profiles in a configuration. When deploying the project, you can create runtime deployment files for a specific configuration profile or for all profiles.

For example, suppose you are deploying a project to three groups of users: Northeast, Southwest, and Midwest. You want the text that displays in a Windows form label to differ, depending on the group. In this case, you can create a single project and use three configuration project items. Configuration1 sets the label text to HelpDeskNE, Configuration2 sets the text to HelpDeskSW, and Configuration3 sets the text to HelpDeskMW.

Note: The configuration project item is not related to the solution build configurations and project configurations as defined via the Configuration Manager window.
