    text
    copied!<p>From a brand new console application template in visual studio, I edited the <code>.csproj</code> to build another project like this:</p> <pre><code>... &lt;Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" /&gt; &lt;Target Name="BeforeBuild"&gt; &lt;MSBuild Projects=".\other.mproj"/&gt; &lt;/Target&gt; ... </code></pre> <p>Where <code>other.mproj</code> is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" DefaultTargets="Build"&gt; &lt;Target Name="Build"&gt; &lt;Message Text="kikou" /&gt; &lt;/Target&gt; &lt;/Project&gt; </code></pre> <p>After a while I discovered that modifying the content of <code>other.mproj</code> (for instance, by introducing errors or changing text <code>kikou</code> to something else) would not be taken into account unless unloading/reloading the project in visual studio. </p> <p>Building from the command line with <code>'msbuild myproj.csproj'</code> immediatly detect changes in <code>'other.mproj'</code>. So it all looks like visual studio is working from a cached version of <code>other.mproj</code> file. </p> <p>Why is visual studio caching this other script (which is even not included to the project), and how can I solve this issue ?</p> <p>Update: I also tried this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/2631760/684399">UseHostCompilerIfAvailable</a>, it doesn't work.</p> <hr> <p><em>NB1: I didn't add <code>other.mproj</code> as a project reference in the <code>.csproj</code> because it is not a .NET project at all (it just creates resources files for the <code>.csproj</code> from other inputs before the build)</em></p> <p><em>NB2: I'm using VS2010 (10.0.10219.1SP1Rel + MSBuild 4.0.30319.1)</em></p>
