Visual Studio: Configuration Manager missing

I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite.

The "Configuration Manager" menu item is missing for me. I've assigned a keyboard shortcut to the Configuration Manager, but it doesn't have any effect (actually, it produces a "ding" sound).

How do I get the Configuration Manager to work for all projects?

Visual Studio 2008 will only show the Configuration Manager if the solution node is visible in Solution Explorer. If you only have a single project, the solution will not show hence you can't see the Configuration Manager.

To solve this, make sure the following option is checked (in addition to Timwi's answer): menu Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> General -> Always Show Solution

The answer is: Make sure the following option is checked:

Tools ⇒ Options ⇒ Projects and Solutions ⇒ General ⇒ "Show advanced build configurations".
