    Build Vs. rebuild

    Hello,
    Why is there a choice between build Solution & Rebuild Solution in the IDE.
    what is the difference? When would you use one over the other?

    Many thanks for your thoughts
    Ant.

      Hi Ant,

      From my experience using the IDE on large projects, when you want to simply
      recompile after making basic changes, use Build Solution, as this quickly
      runs through your projects and recompiles your changes. If you've made
      changes to resource (.resx) files, or made other broad changes, use Rebuild.
      On large projects using Build instead of Rebuild can save you a ton of time.

          Rebuild recompiles the application irrespective of whether or not there have
          been changes made . Build will only build a new program if changes have
          been made.

              This is what the help has to say on the subject

              Choose Rebuild Solution to "clean" the solution first, and
              then build all project files and components.

              Note : "Cleaning" a solution or project deletes any
              intermediate and output files, leaving only the project and
              component files, from which new instances of the
              intermediate and output files can then be built.
