Why does VS2003 keep compiling

[active]

Every time I click Debug/Start or Start Without Debug
the entire solution (27 projects) gets compiles.

Even if I just Built the solution. Or if I run it 3 time in a row with no
changes.

I've looked for an related option but have not found one.

Thanks

Build -> Configuration Manager...

Check/uncheck the 'build' option for each project, as desired.

Right, but then he/she/it has to check the option again whenever there was a
change in the project. Afterwards uncheck it, and so on.
In spite of his reply, I'd understand it the way that the IDE should
automatically only build the changed projects.

It seems to be possible to create a new configuration (in the configuration
selection dialog box).

Yes, but the configuration also doesn't know which projects have been
changed. I know what you mean, but you still have to switch manually between
the configurations. If there were only 4 projects in the solution, you would
need 16 configurations.

And if there were 50 projects in the solution...

I take it from the posts that VB never keeps track of what needs to be
compiled and compiles only those. Seems odd!

I've been compiling the module I'm working on before I move on to another or
run the program.
