Deleted "Release" configuration by mistake?

I deleted the "Release" configuration by mistake in Visual C++ 6.0.

Is it possible to recover it? If so how?

I guess those build settings reside in some file. Is it independent for each project (i.e. for each new project, they're copied from some VC directory)? Or is it the same for all projects developed in the IDE?

Are you using Source control? If not, time to start! Things like this recoverable from just a click - 'Revert'

Solution 1

Open .dsp in a wordpad and add code for release same as debug and save the fiel.

The default "Release" itself was deleted. I know we can create Configuration(s) from from Build/Configurations, but the problem is I'll have to edit it manually so that it resembles the original "Release" config.

@Shilpi Boosar
Yea thanks. But that isn't the same as debug (correct me if I'm wrong). Opened the .dsp with notepad, compared with the release settings in another project's .dsp file and editied the faulty one manually. That worked.

Anyway thanks all for your replies :) :)

From the Build Menu select Configurations. This will open a dialog box where you can Add/Remove any debug/release configuration(s) to your project.

See Yusuf's answer for the proper way to do it.

Yes I know this way also but working on Brew, I have to manage many configuration so its a kind of copy paste and the instinct answer comes in my mind was to update dsp file. Thanks :)
