"Active (Debug)" versus "Debug"
Visual Studio Debugger
Project Settings for C# Debug Configurations
"Sets mode for compiling the application.
Choose among
Active (Debug), <========
Debug, <========
Release,
All Configurations."
It appears that Active (Debug) and Debug are two separate choices.
However, the MSDN library fails to explain the difference between Active (Debug) and Debug.
There's no information here: "Visual Studio Debugger Project Settings for C# Debug Configurations"
I could not find any explanation via Google either.
QUESTION:
What is the difference between Active (Debug) and Debug?
Answer
The Active tab is to denote the currently active configuration. In the case of Active (Debug) it is noting the active configuration is the debug one.
You can demonstrate this by changing the current configuration to Release and then revisiting the Debug tab. It will now display Active (Release).
