Azure Build: How to Enable A Build Definition in Visual Studio
In Visual Studio 2013 one may run into this error when getting a build running with Windows Azure online TFS.

Here are two things to look for/ to do. But both of the items require one to bring up the build definition file (internally named xaml (not the wpf kind)) by (in Visual Studio) right clicking on the build definition which shows the disabled build with an x in the icon in the Team Explorer, Build section:
- There may be build problems other than the build definition is disabled. Select the `
Process` section by clicking it and look for any triangle warning signs in the window/tab which opens. If the triangle icon is there, that may mean that something is missing and needs your attention. If in TFS, your Team Project Collection has multiple solutions, the actual solution to build may not be set. Set it in the `Projects` section.
- To enable the build definition go to the `
General` settings and and change the `Queue Processing` from `Disabled` to `Enabled`.
If everything is a go, the icon should change after you `save` the xaml file. Queue a new build and run.
