Build all from command line

[graham.king]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to build all projects in a VS.net
solution from the command line without having to open the solution and
tick every project in the configuration manage?

I currently am aware of the command to build from the command line

<VS.net location> <.sln file locaion> /rebuildall /release

will rebuild all *ticked* projects in the solution. Is there a way to
build everything despite some projects not being ticked in the config
manager?

Thanks

Thanks, except that we're using VS.net.

You can build via tha command line of devenv with VS2003 - I believe the
same holds true with vs2002.

For instance:
devenv /build Release /out OutputFile.txt MySolution.sln
will build all the Release configurations in the solution and dump the
output into OutputFile.txt.

(And with a plugin, you can do the same with VS6 - Microsoft has the
sample code on their site)

From my expereince that will build what ever is ticked in the
configuration manager and dump the output in OuputFile.txt yes, BUT I
need to rebuild EVERYTHING regardless of whether it is ticked in
configuation manager or not.

....

Thanks for the input Dave.
