VS2005 Build order problem
-
HI, I have Visual studio 2005 on WIn7 system. Project dependencies and Buildorder everything is in place and correct. But it is not Building according to build order correctly when doing clean and Rebuild. I checked with other win7 sytem it is doing properly there. Any thoughts.

It could be because parallel compilation is used on a multi core machine. If two projects are not strictly dependent, they can be built in parallel. If you wanted to enforce the build order (including single thread compilation), you could set the dependencies in a single row even though theprojects don't really depend on each other. But why would you want to do this?
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

If build order is important, then specify project dependencies. That should make the build order exactly the same every time. If memory serves right, in a multi-project solution, you can right click on a project and set dependencies within the menus there. When you make one project dependent on the others, Studio will build the dependencies first.
