Build will only compile files that have changed. This is not always true,
but it is a good rule of thumb. Rebuild will force a recompile of all of
the files.
I thought this was true for a long time, but I was unsure, so I researched
it. In fact, both Build and Rebuild will build all projects that are
specified as "Build" according to the Solution configuration. Rebuild
performs a Clean operation prior to the build, using the Solution
configuration. The Clean operation deletes all intermediate
compiler-generated and output files from the project/solution. The Clean
operation can also be performed separately.

but it is a good rule of thumb. Rebuild will force a recompile of all of
the files. Rebuild is useful after a number of builds to reduce the size
of the files and ensure all pieces are working together. Even the best
compiler gets a build wrong every once in a while.
