Question

We have CCnet+msbuild+tfs.

Builds are configured for each project. We didnt build with solution.

The problem is how should we configure build to not rebuild

Answer 1

Like Lars said, you have to build it with "Build" target. If projects are still rebuilding, you have to change verbosity to detailed (/v:d).

Open log file and search for "Building target "CoreCompile" completely.". Check the first line below for a reason why this project was build completely. There should be something like this:

    Building target "CoreCompile" completely.
    Input file "C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\xpv14dzs.cs" is newer than output file "obj\Debug\Assembly.pdb".
