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!

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.

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 :)
