<signal> Use the Configuration Manager from the Build menu to switch off all the projects you don't want to build every time. Then map Alt-B to the Build Selection command.
The result is, Alt-B will build only the project you're working on, skipping very quickly through the rest. Use Build->Batch Build when you want to build everything. Works fine for me! </signal> <noise> That said, I'm currently trying to get Nant working on my solution so I can build it with the 1.1 beta framework. SLiNgshoT works great! :) Unfortunately I can't get CVS to work through our firewall so I can't get at the NAntContrib bits (for the resgen task), and there's no zip to download... Anyone care to bung me a copy? </noise> Cheers, G. -- Graeme Foster ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Principal Software Engineer Aston Broadcast Systems Ltd.

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 :) ***************************************************************************** The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential.
