Rebuild Solution

20 New Member
Ok, i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, and if it's not i'm sorry. I recently had to reformat my C drive, and i had to reinstall Visual Studio 2005. Before I reinstalled it, the build menu had all kinds of options like build, rebuild, clean and several more. Now all it has is build Project and Publish Project. How do I get rebuild and clean back?

Thanks.

The items it shows depends on the project, and even the file, you have open.

Is it possible that you have a "project" open and not a "solution" ?
I think that might be the case when you do that

Did you do a build and then see if the options came back?
You can't really RE-build something if you never built it in the first place?

I have built it a dozen times. I really need the rebuild option cause right now i'm having problems with the program not realizing i've changed some code. I can't really get anymore work done on this thing until I can rebuild it. please help!!

Only other thing I can think of is that when you installed VS this last time you told the UI to match a look-and-feel for a certain code type and that isn't included.
I would say go to Tools->Options and then dig through the environment section, you might find something there

It could also be the type of view that you have selected when you first installed VS. You can choose different configurations based on your job function, VS tries to make its workspace more efficient for you. But it usually fails miserably.

This question has also been posted in the Visual Basic forum.

You need to be careful about double posting questions. At the very least let the forums know you have also posted the question elsewhere. It is better all around if the experts know the advice you are getting elsewhere so they don't double up or point you in different directions.
