  • 0

I am using visual studio 2010. My code is in C++ and my solution contains many projects and each project again contains multiple folders under it. Whenever I change a file it gets automatically selected in solution explorer as I have enabled the option “Track Active Item in Solution Explorer” in Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->General. But after changing the file I have to manually select the project (this could be cumbersome as I have to scroll up and down due to many files present) and then right click on it and select “build”. Is there any other simple way to do this?

    You could assign a shortcut to Build.BuildSelection or Build.BuildOnlyProject

    Go to Tools menu, then Options=>Environment=>Keyboard and enter Build.BuildSelection or Build.BuildOnlyProject in the Show commands containing search text area. Then assign two free shortcuts. Build.BuildSelection is for building the current file; Build.BuildOnlyProject will build its project.

    I use ctrl-shift+b to build all the solution. I hate to use the mouse for those repetitive tasks.
