C# in Visual studio 2012. How do I make it debug in 64 bit mode?

Question

Hi I have a simple C# solution. It contains a single Exe project and 2 Dll projects.

All of the code is compiled to "AnyCPU". But when I debug it, it runs as 32 bit. How do I fix this?

I can change the solution to compile to x64, But I think it misses the point.

(Windows 7, 64 bit. Visual Studio 2012 ultimate)

Thanks

Right click your project in solution explorer.

Click properties.

Go to the build tab.

Ensure you have All configurations and the Any CPU platform name selected at the top of the properties page.

Ensure the platform target matches the selected platform name above, AnyCPU (yes, these can get out of sync). Deselect Prefer 32-bit .

Go.
