Correction: build _should_ only build if nothing has been
changed since the last build.
In most versions of the compiler for the past decade, the build feature only
partially works, sometimes rebuilding the entire project even though nothing
has changed.
Perhaps I'm not understanding the other responses correctly, but I thought:
Rebuild builds all parts of a project or solution regardless of changes to a
given part.
Build (in theory) builds only those part of a project the *have changed*
since the last build?
William and Julie, please tell me if I've totally lost it!
AFAIK, rebuild recompiles the project regardless of changes , build only
does it if there are changes. I'd like to know more from Julie, b/c I
haven't heard of that in .NET but that doesn't mean anything.
Is that in all the .NET compilers? I've tried this a bunch and never had it
happen so I'm curious if it affects all of the compilers?
