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
other 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 - without
rebuilding projects B...Z but it includes the newly built A?
Thanks.

The other projects should only be getting built if they depend on the
project you change. Have you checked the solution project
dependencies?
