Question

I want to be able to build a web project and not its dependencies since I know that I have not modified any of the dependencies since the last build. I am looking to cut down the build time if possible. Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

You could have a solution by

• check the setting in Tools >> Options >> Projects and Solutions >>
  Build and Run setting : Only build startup projects and dependencies on Run.
• OR
  If you want to go for sophistication then :
  1. build >> Configuration Manager
  2. from the “Active solution configuration:” dropdown select “”
  3. give a name to your configuration and keep checked the “Create new project configurations” checkbox.
  4. and then choose that config that you want and set the build or not check boxes.
