VS 2005 Build Problems... HELP!

8 New Member

I just upgraded some projects from VS2003 to VS2005. All is great except a feature that they seemed to have removed in 2005. Let me explain...

I have several projects in my solution, say 15. Due to the large number of projects and some of them are UI heavy, the total solution build time can be long. So i only build the projects that i am currently working on. So if ProjectA has a reference to ProjectB, and I make a change to the code in ProjectB, i only build ProjectB. No need to build ProjectA... Right??

In 2003, this worked great. When you build projectB, the new DLL automatically gets copied to the bin directory of ProjectA and all works. However in 2005, the final step of copying the DLL from ProjectB's obj\debug to the bin of ProjectA never happens. This only happens if you explicitly build ProjectA also. This is not an issue for small solutions, but for a large one, it can be significant.

I was hoping it was some new option in 2005, but i have scoured the IDE and help and found nothing. Any help would be much appreciated!
