how to enable the dropdown that shows build mode 'release/debug' ? I have set the 'show advanced build configuration' option. I added the 'configuration manager' to the build toolbar but in previous versions we could do this by using the drop-down control.

TIA

The easiest way to fix this is to reset your settings to the General or C# profile.

Tools -> Import / Export Settings

The VB profile will hide this toolbar by default
