Configure Team Foundation Build for an Incremental Build
A question I got today: "How can I configure my Team Build for an incremental build?".
Well, it's simple.
Team Build 2005
Add the PropertyGroup definition to the end of the TFSBuild.proj file, before the closing </project> tag.
Set the following properties:
<PropertyGroup>
<SkipClean>true</SkipClean>
<SkipInitializeWorkspace>true</SkipInitializeWorkspace>
<ForceGet>false</ForceGet>
</PropertyGroup>
Team Build 2008
Set
IncrementalBuild property to
true. To do it, add the
PropertyGroup definition to the end of the TFSBuild.proj file, before the closing </project> tag.
<PropertyGroup>
<IncrementalBuild>true</IncrementalBuild>
</PropertyGroup>
