What is a Project Picker Build?
-
Greetings! I wanted to add a keyboard shortcut for building my currently selected project. In the Customize dialog box, I was surprised to see several build choices I had never heard of before, including "Project Picker Build" and "Build Only Project". Since our current application consists of 34 projects and VS does not like to build them in the correct order, I would like more control over the build process. So, I added Project Picker Build and Build Only Project to my build menu. But they are always disabled! I tried to find documentation on the Project Picker Build, but to my surprise, not only was there none in MSDN, but Google searches on the web and newsgroups both came up empty! Can anybody tell me what those things are, how I can enable them, and how they are supposed to be used? Thanks very much! Rob

I do not know about "Project Picker Build", but here is some info on "Build Only Project": it is only available if you have a project node selected in the Solution Explorer.
