vs2013 Project-> Build/rebuild and project-only differences, and settings for project dependencies

vs in Generation

On the basis of the last compilation, only modified files are regenerated and files that have not been modified are not regenerated.

re-build in VS

All files are regenerated. If you refer to a DLL for another class library, you will regenerate other class libraries, which is slower but more reliable.

Only for projects under normal circumstances, he and the project-> build/rebuild is no different, only when the project has project dependencies is not the case.

Build/rebuild and project-only differences, and settings for Project dependencies >

As shown in the illustration above, the following project Test2 to use the Lib file generated by the above project Test1, so test2 project dependencies are test1, this time the project-> build/rebuild will compile the dependencies and then compile themselves, and the project-> For project-> only build/rebuild only builds itself.

Also note that now the Test1 project is a static library, and Test2 is an application that should set Test2 as the startup project, otherwise it will be wrong.
