Project files are compiling always

[BiswaR]

Hi All, When i am compling my project all files are getting compiled though i do not modify all the files. I think this is related to any setting issue. Can any one please tell me how to stop compilation of all files.

Look in project/solution settings. The option is smth like "incremental linking" if I'm not mistaken. You include the files you needn't compile every time in stdafx.h -- modified at 5:48 Monday 27th February, 2006

Hi, could you please tell me the advantage of including a file in stafx.h. Does it play a difference role when included in stdafx.h than in other parts of the project? Thanks In Advance

The difference is that these files only get recompiled if you use "Rebuild All", otherwise they are assumed to be without any changes unless you make these changes from within Visual Studio. Usually you will include in stdafx.h all libraries and other code that won't be modified by you during development.

If you change things in a header file (.h), all files that include this header file will be recompiled again because they depends on this file.
