Build process

Last modified: 11 February 2024

To build the current solution, press CtrlShift0B. Alternatively, a build, rebuild, or clean can be started from the Build menu. You can also build specific projects in custom ways, for example, with diagnostics or without dependencies — select the desired projects in the Solution Explorer and then use actions under the Advanced Build Actions group in the context menu.

When running a build, the MSBuild or XBuild output is shown in the Build tool window Alt00.

By default, Rider optimizes build process with ReSharper Build, which tracks changes in your solution and only rebuilds modified projects and necessary dependencies.

If your solution includes non-MSBuild projects or projects with custom build steps, you need to disable ReSharper Build on the Build, Execution, Deployment | Toolset And Build page of JetBrains Rider settings CtrlAlt0S — in this case, Rider will delegate the entire solution build to MSBuild.exe.
