Build Vs. rebuild - .NET Framework

Ant

Hello,
Why is there a choice between build Solution & Rebuild Solution in the IDE.
what is the difference? When would you use one over the other?

Many thanks for your thoughts
Ant.

Hi Ant,

From my experience using the IDE on large projects, when you want to simply
recompile after making basic changes, use Build Solution, as this quickly
runs through your projects and recompiles your changes. If you've made
changes to resource (.resx) files, or made other broad changes, use Rebuild.
On large projects using Build instead of Rebuild can save you a ton of time.

Rebuild recompiles the application irrespective of whether or not there have
been changes made . Build will only build a new program if changes have
been made.

This is what the help has to say on the subject

Choose Rebuild Solution to "clean" the solution first, and
then build all project files and components.

Note : "Cleaning" a solution or project deletes any
intermediate and output files, leaving only the project and
component files, from which new instances of the
intermediate and output files can then be built.

Huge project - long build time

by: cody | last post by:

We have a huge project, the solutuion spans 50 projects growing. Everytime I want to start the project I have to wait nearly over 1 minute for the compiler to complete building. This is unaccaptable. I thought about loading only the project I need into visual studio and not the whole solution. The problem is that the compiler tells me it cannot find the referenced dlls (project references) although they are all lying in their bin and obj...

Bogus Task List Errors That Prevent Build

I am constantly getting reports in my task list like these: * 'someObjectName" is not a member of 'someOtherObjectName' * Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable. * Name 'someName' is not declared These errors are totally erroneous. If I go into the class and cut the offending code and repaste it in the same spot the errors temporarily go away. Also, more effective is to delete the files in project/bin and rebuild. Both fixes...
