A build causes compilation of the files which have changed. A rebuild causes
the compilation of everything.

Re: Build vs Rebuild

Build will only compile files that have changed. This is not always true,
but it is a good rule of thumb. Rebuild will force a recompile of all of the
files. Rebuild is useful after a number of builds to reduce the size of the
files and ensure all pieces are working together. Even the best compiler
gets a build wrong every once in a while.

I thought this was true for a long time, but I was unsure, so I researched
it. In fact, both Build and Rebuild will build all projects that are
specified as "Build" according to the Solution configuration. Rebuild
performs a Clean operation prior to the build, using the Solution
configuration. The Clean operation deletes all intermediate
compiler-generated and output files from the project/solution. The Clean
operation can also be performed separately.

Re: Build vs Rebuild

Thanks guys,

I have never bothered me about this.

But it is interesting to know.
