Hi,

How do you build (compile) the currently selected file only
rather than the entire project? Often when editing several
files at once you don't want to wade through errors in all
files to get just one file to build.

Thanks,
Gary

Gary, that's easy.

- open Solution Explorer
- select file(s)
- right click on one file
- click Compile

or...

Use Solution Explorer to get properties on the [Solution|Project|Web Site]
and select the Build menu for options you can configure.

Hello,

If I have a solution with many projects, how can I set teh build option such
that, only the project that I make changes to get rebuilt, and not all the
projects.
For example. If I have projects A to Z, first time, I build the entire
project, later on, I make changes to only project A. I need to set build
option to rebuild only A and not B...Z. Yes, I can right click on A and say
Build only A, but then, how do I build then enire solution?
Thanks.

Deepak,

it's not clear when you mean "build" and when "rebuild". Assuming you want
to rebuild project A and after that build (without rebuilding all) the
entire solution...

open Solution Explorer
right click at project A
context-menu: Project Only -> Rebuild Only A
right click at solution
context-menu: Build Solution

Hope that helps.

/Helge
