    In Visual Studio 2005 if you go to Build menu you'll see an option for "Clean Solution". What exactly does this command do for us and also when should we use it? Thanks. Robert

      It moves all the built libraries, executables, object files etc from the solution.  Sometimes VS will get it's knickers in a twist with not updating the correct libraries etc and you can use Clean to force it to delete the old version and then next time it compiles you can (more or less) guarantee that the latest code / libraries will be used.
