I have a solution which has multi projects, how can I exclude one
project from build when I click bulid or rebuild solution? Thanks.
 
Rebuild Solution/Build Solution is a global override that forces VS.NET
to rebuild everything; you cannot cancel this behavior.

Instead, assign the dependancies on all your other projects to force
only the particular projects you wish to be built in your solution as a
group when you build only a selected project.

For each project, goto the VS.NET main menubar and select:
project->project dependancies and project->project build order

Checkmark the listed projects you want to have built when you build a
particular project - do not checkmark the project you wish to exclude.

After this, whenever you build a project in the solution, only the
projects you have checkmarked will be built.

Right Click on the Solution and go to the configuration manager.

Uncheck the project from the list of projects to build.

Not so. Go to Build|Configuration Manager... from the menu and you can
disable individual projects based on the solution configuration (e.g. so
some projects build in debug builds but not in release builds).

-cd
