Re: Why doesn't C# allow incremental compilation like Java?

I think you're in a minority then. Personally, I'm not compiling

assembly with lots of forms takes about that long..

I suspect I'm in the minority because most people don't practise TDD,
and most people don't realise how lovely it is not to have to wait for
a compiler.

Well, you're not a minority of one, anyway. I have come to enjoy
automatic compile.
We don't practice TDD where I work, unfortunately, but I like being
able to launch
the GUI, test, and make changes, and test without having to relaunch
the GUI (and
login again, go to the proper spot, find the correct data, ad nausem).
I was rebuilding
the project when I first started, then a coworker pointed out I didn't
need to.
