I have a Visual Studio project with two configurations: Debug 32 and Release 32. The project includes a module that has different build dependencies for each configuration:

• For Debug 32, the module depends on Library A.
• For Release 32, the module depends on Library B.

Currently, when I switch between these configurations, I need to manually update the module’s build dependencies through the Solution Explorer to point to the correct library. This is time-consuming, especially when switching configurations frequently.

My question is:

Is there a way to automate this process in Visual Studio, so that the correct build dependency is automatically selected based on the active configuration (Debug 32 or Release 32)?

Ideally, I’d like to set up the project in such a way that it “remembers” the correct dependencies for each configuration, eliminating the need for manual intervention.

I’ve explored ItemDefinitionGroup in the project files for managing compile and link settings, but I haven’t found a straightforward solution for automating build dependency changes for different configurations.

Any suggestions or guidance on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated!
