This is an old thread, but I finally got around to figuring out an answer. There may be a Votive bug, or a VisualStudio bug/feature. Maybe you guys can tell me.
When you fire up VisualStudio (I'm using 2010) and hit Build/F6 it does not, per se, build the Default Build Configuration (the one that builds when running msbuild from command line). It builds whichever configuration comes first in the UI drop-down, based on whatever sorting that uses. You'll want to delete your .suo file to verify this, because it saves the last used build configuration. On a fresh source-control checkout, or after deleting unversioned files, the .suo file doesn't exist, so it's important that the default configuration be what we expect. In my case, "Debug SU" (note the space) builds by default because it comes before "Debug" in the list. If I remove the space, then "DebugSU" comes after "Debug", and Debug builds first. In either case, command-line msbuild builds Debug. I did try adjusting the order of things in the .sln file and it didn't make a difference. This does appear to be based on UI sorting. It seems like it should build the Default Build Configuration - the same as when building via command line - when I launch the IDE and hit Build. Should I log a Votvie bug about this, or do you think it's VisualStudio's doing?
