How to force 64 bit and 32 bit builds via devenv command line
vs2005 / .net 2.0
I'm trying to force devenv to build a sln file containing vdproj files for a particular architecture via the command line
e.g. devenv myproj.sln /rebuild "Release|x64"
But it just goes ahead and builds for "any cpu"
How can I force it to build for a specific architecture ? I am setting the TargetPlatform attribute in the vdproj but that doesnt seem to do it.

This helped push me in the right direction.
I eventually found that the solution configurations are driving which build of each project, so I had to check every project / build / platform combination to ensure everything was consistent.
So now I am not having a separate solution config as you sugested, but instead I am using the platform dropdown and using /build "Release|x64" syntax within the devenv command
So the key points are:
1. Ensure every project > advance compile options is targeting AnyCPU for every platform and every solution configuration
2. Ensure server combination of platform and configuration is correctly set for each project in the solution configuration manager
3. Build with /build "Release|x64"

In active solution configuration drop down click new and call it something like x64
Now in the grid change platform to X64 (by default its Any CPU)
Now save you project
and the command is something like
devenv /build "x64" "d:\alarm\alarm.sln" /project "Alarm"
bold and underlined is the solution configuration name, hope you will figure out.
You can change active solution configuration if you like but at least create a new one for x64 platform
