I would also definitely reccomend using NAnt if you are dealing with big projects.
I got fed up waiting for up to 3 minutes for a build to complete, so now I use Nant integrated with the IDE (as a Tool) and I wait on average from 10-20 secs before I can test following a build. Granted I'm only building the DLL I'm working on, but thats exactly what I want to do anyway!!. Creating the Nant build file takes a while, but in my case it was worth the trouble. I was about to chuck my 733 PIII laptop out the window and get something a lot faster, but I see no point now ! I do still use the IDE as an editor and build in it every once in a while to get the Intellisense all up to date, I find it really good for designing Forms :) Born again NAnt'er Steve Crabb -----Original Message----- From: Moderated discussion of advanced .NET topics.

It sucks, that's just how it is. As for the 64K threshold, I find that pretty funny coming from a company producing 8MB executables in some of their products :) >I can't support makefiles ... Too old school :) Well, there really is a much better option: NAnt, of course :) http://nant.sf.net/ -- Tomas Restrepo [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can read messages from the Advanced DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from Advanced DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
