editing the build definition in VS15

I am trying to resolve a MSBuild error in a VS .Net application by editing the build definition. However, when I enter team explorer, my menu looks like thisenter image description here

As you can see there is no build option, nor a team foundation server. (I am not sure if we are using one. Therefore, my issue is figuring out how to open the menu for the build definition. It does not appear if searched in quick launch and the search work items searchbar is not working for some reason. Any suggestions?

If I understand you correctly, you have encountered a MSBuild error, and you want to resolve this issue by build definition, but the Builds on the Team Explorer is part of TFS rather than MSBuild. If you want to see the Builds panel on the Team Explorer, you just need to connect to the TFS server, then you will see it:

Besides, if you want to resolve your MSBuild error, you can get the error info from the Output window, and you can check more detail info by change the output verbosity (Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->Build and Run->MSBuild project build output verbosity). If you could not resolve this issue, you can submit a new post with that MSBuild error log and some other info that you think is related to this issue. More community members on this forum may further look at your issue and provide more suggestions.
