Hopefully this is a simple question and I have just overlooked something somewhere…
I am writing VB.NET stuff in VS2010 on Windows 7 64-bit. It seems to build by default for a 32-bit target, how to I tell it to make a 64-bit executable?
I went to the project properties -> Compiler -> Advanced, but don’t see the option anywhere.
Oh, and this is VS2010 Express, to be clear.
This involves using the Configuration Manager, it’s not a part of the project properties.
Go to the Build Menu, then click Configuration Manager. Under Active solution platform, click New, then add one with x64 as the platform. Use this platform to compile for x64.
