How to build a project in debug rather that release in msvc command line

You can try to build the project in MSBuild command line with argument /property:Configuration=Debug, like:

c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe YourProject.proj /target:rebuild "/property:Configuration=Debug

enter image description here

Check the document MSBuild command-line reference for some more details.

Hope this helps.
