I’m obviously developing in debug mode. If I’m starting with the standard run command (F5) my project should start in debug mode but if I publish my project it should automatically switch in release mode. Is this possible somehow, maybe even with scripting?
You could easily write a macro in VBA that was bound to a command in VS which switched to release mode, did your full rebuild, and fired off any other publishing/packaging required. I’ve done this before.
The object model for VS automation is very feature complete.
Edit:
Debug/Release in VS are configuration properties. Here’s the MSDN page on accessing/modifying this.
Once you’ve set that, you should be able to use DTE.ExecuteCommand to start a build (or do anything else that’s available via menus, etc).
