I am able to build a solution using MSBuild.exe, but my issue is I can only manage to get it to build in DEBUG mode. I need to build my solution in Release mode using MSBUILD.

Here is what I've tried

Process msbuild = Process.Start("C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\MsBuild.exe", solutionfilepath + " /P:Config=Release");

and

Process msbuild = Process.Start("C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\MsBuild.exe", solutionfilepath + " /P:Configuration=Release");

Can you build the solution in Release mode when you run MSBuild from command line (not in code)?Novakov

MsBuild.exe [Path to your solution(*.sln)] /t:Build /p:Configuration=Release /p:TargetFrameworkVersion=v4.0
