When working on a c# MVC3 app in Visual Studio 2010, I have turned on view compilation by editing my project file and setting the wonderful flag
`<MvcBuildViews>false</MvcBuildViews>`
to true. I love it as it means I can compile my views and catch errors.
The only problem that I have now is that it’s not really quick! (I have tried turning it off and then it’s back up to full speed.)
It looks like it recompiles every view every time – I have about 50 views at the moment, so ideally it would only compile the pages that have changed since last time. Is this at all possible?
I don’t think its possible to compile that way in the same project. You could attempt to pull out the views into a separate project, and set it up that way.
