You may also want to consider only re-compiling those projects that need to be recompiled.<br />

If you made changes to only one project, simply &quot;Rebuild&quot; that one; assuming that you used &quot;Project&quot; references (and did not simply point to the .dll of another Project) it will know which dependencies need to be included in the process.

I read an article which explains that you would get better performance by using an external hard drives to store your visual studio projects &amp;&amp;&nbsp;The compile times are faster and increase your host computer performance too.<br />
<br />
I have a fast computer but the compile times are longer and would like to get any ideas to improve the performance / reduce compile times. (FYI our solutions contains 50-60 projects)<br />
<br />
Any comments is appreciated.<br />

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Development in most programming languages is frequently done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE is a software application that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. XCode, Visual Studio, Adobe Dreamweaver and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools, but an editor or IDE can be anything from simple text editors to sophisticated programs.
