All this compiling is TOOO much

I have 25 projects in my solution and everytime I run (Start) it compiles
everything. Can't it keep tack of what's been changed.

I asked a while ago and someone made me aware of the configuration manager
and I thought that would work for me, but it hasn't. Maybe I don't know how
to set it up or maybe there is an other way of avoiding all the compiles.

Is there?? It's hard to believe they produced an IDE that always compiles. I
have to go a long way back to find a time when that was so. Pascal maybe??

Thans for any help

Use the Build menu.
The first choice is the one you hate - Build Solution.
The 3rd choice builds the current project only.
So if that is the only that changed you should be OK.

Also, you can right click a Project and build it in Solution explorer in
case you need to build a few of them.

Build versus rebuild. Rebuild will rebuild all every time, while build only
builds the current project.

Doesn't even using "Build Project..." instead of "Build Solution..." help?

Even if I just rebuilt the entire solution, if I run it (click Start) the
entire solution is built again!

Must have something setup wrong.

I'm not sure how that helps. The problem is when I run (click Start)
everything gets compiled. Not sure how Build Project applies. Give me a few
more words about it.

Thanks

Hi,

Project/project properties; click 'config manager' (upper right); uncheck
the projects you don't want to build when you test/run. Remember to check
these again when you need to.

HTH,

Thanks, I've tried that. Forgot I made some changes in one project that
didn't get compiled and debuger got crazy. Guess it expected things that
didn't agree with my code listing.

Anyway, looks like the IDE is not smart enough to compile only those things
that have changed - that's a real bummer - hard to believe.

Seems like all they would have to is programmaticall y set a configuration
item when a project gets edited and reset it when the project get compiled.

Thanks

It's a menu item in the "Build" menu.

"> It's a menu item in the "Build" menu.

What does that have to do with the problem?

I'm missing something. I have the problem when I run - not when I build.

You keep telling me about Build - how does that relate?

When I click start it compiles everything is what the problem is.

I have no problem building.

Hello, I was wondering if Java supports a feature of C# (or .NET in general), namely compiling code at runtime. This is nice for scripting purposes. Users can script the application in real programming languages (such as C#, VB.NET, ...). This is done using the System.CodeDom.Compiler namespace, if I recall correctly. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemCodeDomCompiler.asp
