Hi, I'm wondering where is the option to force VS to build up to date project. I recently reinstalled VS on a new computer and I can't find where I'm suppose to set this option.
 
something like this :

Output window:


------ Build started: Project: SolarcanReceptionCommande, Configuration: Debug .NET ------

The project is up to date.


I can do a rebuid to rebuild the whole thing but I remember on my old system that whenever I did build or rebuild every project would be build its the first time I get that line.
 
I'm still lost as to what you want. Every time you do a successful build in VS it brings the project up to date. If it fails to build a project while entering Debug then it asks if you would like to run the last successful build.

So, is your project failing to successfully build?

My projects works fine.. maybe its VS2003 SP1 or something but before, on my old system, there was no difference (atleast from my point of view) btw BUILD and REBUILD.

Now when I do a build I get:

------ Build started: Project: SolarcanCommande, Configuration: Debug .NET ------

The project is up to date.


Before when I did a build I was getting this:

------ Rebuild All started: Project: SolarcanCommande, Configuration: Debug .NET ------

Preparing resources...
Updating references...
Performing main compilation...
Building satellite assemblies...

which is the same thing as a rebuild. I have a .bat file that build my solutions in orders


My .bat file
--------------------------------------------------------
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat"

devenv /build debug SolarcanCommun\SolarcanCommun.sln

devenv /build debug SolarcanAllYouNeed\SolarcanAllYouNeed.sln

devenv /build debug RechercheContratService\RechercheContratService.sln

devenv /build debug SolarcanAchat\SolarcanAchat.sln

devenv /build debug FoxproProjects\FoxproProjects.sln

pause
------------------------------------------------------

since before my build was just like a rebuild every solutions was always up to date but its no biggie ill just do a /rebuild instead of a /build in my bat file.

I'm sorry if I'm not clear english is not my main language and technicalities are a bit hard to explain.
 
I C...

Try right-clicking your solution and clicking on Properties. Then Click Configuration Properties. You can then select which ones you want the "build" to build.
