Hi Jtb - thanks for posting this issue on Microsoft Connect.

The behavior you describe is "By Design" - DTE follows the Tools/Options settings. You may like to consider using SolutionBuild.BuildProject() to build a specific project.

Please reactive this bug if you have further issues with this.

thanks,
Ken Watson - Visual Studio Platform

Hi Ken,

Your explanation doesn't make sense because nobody is talking about "Run" here, we are talking about "Build". If I request programmatically SolutionBuild.Build, I expect the whole solution to be built. If I request programmatically to run the solution, you can honor that setting.

Thanks,

I agree with Carlos. This has nothing to do with "Run".

There appears to be no workaround. Even if I programatically set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<Version>\General\BuildStartupsOnlyOnRun in the registry just before I want to do the solution build (after Visual Studio is open), it does not get picked up.

Hi Ken,

The issue with both Solution.Build and BuildProject not building dependent projects is quite troubling.

Especially given the fact the same behavior is exhibited from even calling Vs services directly.

As a note with VS2003 the build behavior was correct.

Thanks,

Kavan
