Description

I have cloned the https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Samples.git repo. I would like to build the solution but I see that many of the projects including the WebView2WpfBrowser is skipped. I believe it is due to a configuration on the project and that configuration is not selectable through the Visual Studio 2022 dropdown.

The only available configuration options are Release and Debug. There are no options to select Debug Stable APIs or Release Stable APIs etc

The question / issue I have is how to modify the configurations for these projects to either use the Release/Debug standard configurations or how to add the Debug/Release Stable APIs configurations to the solution configuration dropdown.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the cloned solution in Visual Studio 2022 and compare the configuration entries for WebView2WpfBrowser with the available Debug and Release configurations. Done means determining why the stable API configurations are unavailable and documenting or applying a configuration that lets the project build.
