title: Why is my configuration manager deploy check box disabled in Visual Studio 2017?
body: <p>I am trying to publish my solution to Microsoft Azure in Visual Studio 2017.  In the configuration manager, the Deploy check box is grayed out and I can not put a check mark in it.</p>
  
  <p>I understand a similar question was asked <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3074272/why-is-my-configuration-manager-disabled-in-visual-studio-2010">about the configuration manager being disabled in Visual Studio 2010</a></p>
  
  <p>However, the solution to that post does not work in Visual Studio 2017.  I have tried going to Tools> Options>General and the check box for Show advanced build configurations is already checked.
  Please help.</p>
