Solution doesnt run/build/rebuild in Visual Studio

Question

When trying to run Build / Rebuild in Visual Studio on a solution, nothing happens.

I can run the build from the command prompt using MSbuild.exe, and this gives me the output i would expect (Build succeeded) - But when trying to run it from visual studio, nothing happens. Theres no debug output or build output either.

The project is a MVC project, with some references to other projects.

I can create a new MVC project, and it runs just fine!

Any idea what might trigger this behavior?

Using Visual Studio 2015.

I Have tried the following:

• Restarting VS
• Comparing the solution file to a new solution file
• Triggering build manually from MSBuild (OK)
• Switching Debug / Release configuration
• Building projects individually
• Updated NuGet
• Build Configuration is OK (Everything checked for Build)

That beeing said, the solution is inside a git repository, and the other person working on this project has entered at a later stage with Visual Studio 2013 - But i dont know if this has anything to do with the issue.

Answer 1

Go to your configuration Manager and make sure build checkbox is selected for your project.

other thing you can try is: Go to tools > Options>> A window will pop up> Under Project and Solutions > select Build and Run

Make sure Before building is set to Save all changes
