VS Net :: Project recompiles every build! Why?

Hi

I have a solution in VS.NET with a number of projects that I'm working on. A lot of the time, a project depends on another and so before building it VS NET checks to see whether the dependent project has been compiled yet, and most times it will find that it is up to date.

However, one project is always recompiled, every time... I can't think of any reason for this, and needless to say it's annoying to watch it take ten minutes compiling again when nothing is changed!

Any help appreciated
 
try to clean all the projects once, maybe it will help (and maybe not:)

In the following menu "Project"->"Properties"->"C/C++"->"Code Generation"->"Enable Minimal Rebuild" check to see if it is set to "Yes" or "No" If it is "No", set it to "Yes" since that means that only affected source files will be re-compiled (and thus if you haven't modified anything at all, it will NOT be re-compiled). Also, enabling this option will reduce your project's build time ;)
