This helped push me in the right direction.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
So now I am not having a separate solution config as you sugested, but instead I am using the platform dropdown and using /build &quot;Release|x64&quot; syntax within the devenv command<br />
<br />
So the key points are:<br />
<br />
1. Ensure every project &gt;&nbsp;advance compile options is targeting &nbsp;AnyCPU for every platform and every solution configuration<br />
2. Ensure server combination of platform and configuration is correctly set for each project in the solution configuration manager<br />
3. Build with /build &quot;Release|x64&quot;<br />
<br />

I'm trying to force devenv to build a sln file containing vdproj files for a particular architecture via the command line<br />
<br />
e.g. &nbsp; devenv myproj.sln /rebuild &quot;Release|x64&quot;<br />
<br />
But it just goes ahead and builds for &quot;any cpu&quot;<br />
<br />
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.<br />

How to force 64 bit and 32 bit builds via devenv command line

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

Visual Basic.NET

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
