/build

Visual Studio

/build

Builds a solution.

devenv /build ConfigName [/project ProjName] [/projectconfig ConfigName] SolutionName

ConfigName: Required. The solution configuration name.
SolutionName: Required. The path and name of the solution. If you want to build a single project configuration, use the /project ProjName argument to specify which project to build and optionally supply the /projectconfig configandplatformname argument.
/project ProjName: Optional. The project file name, as an absolute path or a relative path from the directory containing the solution file. You can also specify the project display name. Use this argument to build a single project within a solution with multiple projects.
/projectconfig ConfigName: Optional. The name of the build configuration.

This switch is the same as Build Solution (CTRL + SHIFT + B) available within the IDE.
Paths that include spaces must be enclosed in double quotation marks.
Summary information for builds, including errors, appears in the Command Prompt window or in any log file specified with the /out argument.

This example builds the solution MySolution with the debug solution configuration.

devenv /build debug "c:\MySolutions\Visual Studio Projects\MySolution\MySolution.sln"
