Problem The build explorer only showed the default configuration and platform This was a problem if you were trying to inspect build properties for a different configuration or platform than what was set as the default in the build project file. Analysis This is not a hard problem to solve. The msbuild API allows for setting arbitrary properties as global variables. Not only that, the msbuild API also has a nice property that gets all the possible configs and platforms that currently exist inside of an msbuild file. Solution Added two combo boxes to the main ribbon that display the current configuration and platform for the file. This is front and center to indicate to the user the importance fact that the properties are interpreted through the lense of the config and platform and that they can change them I also cleaned a few things up here.
