You also can right-click a .NET interop assembly specification name under Build Specifications and select Properties from the shortcut menu, or you can double-click the .NET interop assembly specification name.

Note If you previously hid Build Specifications in the Project Explorer window, you must display the item again to access it.

The bottom of the .NET Interop Assembly Properties dialog box includes the following buttons:

Option Description
Build

Updates the LabVIEW project with the current build specification settings, closes the dialog box, and builds with the current settings.

Clicking Build does not save the settings to disk. You must save the project in order to save the build specification settings.

If you rebuild a given specification, LabVIEW overwrites the existing files from the previous build that are part of the current build. However, if you enable the Auto increment checkbox, or Auto increment product version checkbox for installers, on the Version Information page, and you use the [VersionNumber] or [ProductVersion] tags in the appropriate build destination fields, LabVIEW creates a new directory that includes the version number instead of overwriting the previous build on disk.
OK

Updates the project with the current build specification settings and closes the dialog box without performing a build.

Clicking OK does not save the settings to disk. You must save the project in order to save the build specification settings.
Cancel

Cancels the build specification settings you changed and closes the dialog box.
