I am relatively new to Visual Studio, and I would like to know what’s exactly happening when I hit the play button of the IDE to build the project. Is there someway to know what commands are executed on the background?

When I open the Output Window, I just get to see the following.

------ Build started: Project: ZXing.Net.Mobile.MonoForAndroid, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------

ZXing.Net.Mobile.MonoForAndroid -> C:\Users\avi\Desktop\APC-mono\ZXing.Net.Mobile\bin\Debug\ZXing.Mobile.dll

========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========

    • In the Options dialog (from Tools | Options...)
    • in the tree on the left choose Projects and Solutions | Build and Run
    • on the right, under MSBuild project build output verbosity, choose (say) Normal

    Now when you build, the build output will have more detail. Note that Detailed is probably more detailed than you need, and Diagnostic is almost certainly more detailed than you need.

    Screenshot below:
