VJs Tip Of The Day - September 29th 2004

Build Vs Rebuild in VS.Net

A very basic but a less know question for today... What is the difference between Build and Rebuild solution in VS.Net or why at all we have two...
Well the difference is that Build solution will build only those projects which are changed since the last build... It will not get the changes of the updated embedded resource files...
Rebuild solution will cause everything to be rebuilt no matter whether it was changed or not...

If you are making small projects the differences would not matter much but for large builds these are really useful...
There are advanced differences though but these are something which all should know...

PS: If you wish to add few of your discoveries shoot me an email and I will update folks with tomorrow's tip...

PS:Swapnil B has added to the list and made it explicit that Rebuild will bydefault update your refrences too...
