RE: How to disable automatic build when starting debug?

Thanks, WenYuan! That's EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Could you do me a favor? I searched my MSDN library for quite a while,
looking for articles that might describe this. I was searching using keys
like "automatic build debug". No articles describing build configuration or
the Configuration Manager Dialog Box were returned by my searches.

Could you tell the folks who author the content in MSDN that the
documentation about build configurations could use a little work?
Specifically, it would help if there was an article that described the
function and usage of build configurations (e.g., that the configuration is
automatically built prior to starting debug).

Thanks!

Jim

Hello Jim,

According to your description, you want to debug the project without
compiling. Because, the build takes about 5 minutes in your current
environment, correct? If I misunderstood anything here, please feel free to
correct me. Thanks.

Sure, you can achieve that by the following steps.
#1 right-click on your solution in Solution Explorer
#2 click on "Configuration Manager" in Context Menu
#3 clear the checkbox in "build" column in "Project Context" Panel.

Note: please don't forget to check the "Build" checkbox if you make any
change in source code. Otherwise, the change in code will not take effect,
because VS doesn't compile it automatically. thanks.

Hope this helps. If there is anything unclear, please feel free to update
here again. It's my pleasure to assist you.
Have a great day,
Best regards,

Wen Yuan
