Automatically rebuild referenced Class Libraries (DLLs) in VS2010?

Question

I have an executable project A, which references to a Class Library project B. However, when I build A, it does not automatically rebuild B. The only way to get B rebuilt and used by A is to rebuild B then build A.

Is there a way I can get B to be rebuilt automatically and then used by A when I build A?

If you want to rebuild project B when it need not be built, then I think you need to do a 'Rebuild solution'. — Emmanuel, Aug 14 '10 at 12:38
I don't think he means "rebuild" in the Visual Studio sense. I think he just means "build". — Kirk Woll, Aug 14 '10 at 12:39

Check B in your solution configuration.

Specifically, that dropdown that says "Debug / Release", choose "Configuration Manager". – Kirk Woll Aug 14 '10 at 12:38

Thanks. Just to clarify it was: `Right click on Solution > Properties > Configuration > Check "Build" next to project` – Callum Rogers Aug 14 '10 at 12:40
