Home Page (Projects)OverviewsHow Do I... TopicsNMAKE Reference

Visual C++ can build projects in a hierarchy or just the selected project. The selected project includes all of its subprojects, built recursively. If just a subproject is selected, that subproject and all of its subprojects (if any) are built.

To build all the projects in the workspace

  • Select Build from the Build menu.

To build only the selected project

  1. From the FileView pane, highlight the project.

  2. Click the right mouse button to invoke the shortcut menu, and select Build (selection only).
