Ever wonder how to change your project’s platform in VB.Net to 64Bit or 32Bit? Here are some easy steps on how to do it.


        1.   Open your project, then click Build in menu.
  
        2. Under Build Menu, Select Configuration Manager at the end of the list.


    

      3. The Configuration window will appear, then select New in the combobox under the platform column.


     4. New Project Platform window will appear, select X64 for 64 bit or X86 for 32 bit platform, remember that Any CPU platform means that your project will run on both 64 and 32 bit platforms.


 
      5.  Once you select your platform, click close. You will also notice that Active Solution Platform  is set with the platform you selected. Rebuild your project and the new platform is implemented.
