Changing csproj OutputType based on project configuration

Viewed 18255

I need to build a C# project as either WinExe or Library depending on the project's configuration.

I've tried both of these methods with no luck:

1) In the general PropertyGroup:

<OutputType Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'Release' ">WinExe</OutputType> <OutputType Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'Debug' ">Library</OutputType>

2) In a conditional PropertyGroup:

<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'Release' "> <OutputType>WinExe</OutputType> </PropertyGroup>

<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'Debug' "> <OutputType>Library</OutputType> </PropertyGroup>

Neither of these methods work and the OutputType is always WinExe. The odd thing is that if I change all instances of WinExe to Library, then it's always Library. This is making me think that it is reading them successfully, but either in a strange order or that WinExe takes precedence over Library.

Any ideas?
