A query about Visual C/C++ 2008 edition's main menu

[Anthony Appleyard]

In Visual C/C++ 2008 version's main top menu, clicking on "Build" causes a dropdown menu, which includes:- Build Solution Rebuild Solution Clean Solution Build xxxx Rebuild xxxx Clean xxxx Project Only and clicking on "Project Only" causes a sub-dropdown menu with:- Build Only xxxx Rebuild Only xxxx Clean Only xxxx Link Only xxxx where "xxxx" is the name of the current project. What is "Solution" and what is "xxxx" and what is "Only xxxx"? Which of these 3 options recompiles the whole of the current project? Which option recompiles what?

Each project is part of a Solution (top folder in the tree), which may contain other projects. So you can build/rebuild/clean only a particular project, or every project in the Solution.
