Sorry Damian - I'm not sure. Given Brian's blog post, I'd guess that they're all tied together: http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry/archive/2008/05/22/1-week-left-for-sp1-beta-feedback.aspx<http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry/archive/2008/05/22/1-week-left-for-sp1-beta-feedback.aspx#comments>

Of course, web browsers don't have any such limitation. In Orcas Sp1 we've introduced an easy way to filter out targets. In particular, project to project references result in steps being recorded that really aren't useful because msbuid raises events when each time it sees the project, even when it's already built and nothing will happen. This helps lessen the problem and cut down on noise, as by default in SP1 we filter out the targets that are reported due to p2p refs (it's configurable via a property). (see http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry/archive/2008/04/28/team-foundation-server-2008-sp1.aspx) Reduce build log noise - Eliminate "noise" created by project to project references. Now you will only get 1 message about each.

This will be fixed in Service Pack 1, see Aaron's post about reducing build log noise: http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronhallberg/archive/2008/05/05/orcas-sp1-tfs-build-changes.aspx Regards, William On Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 10:42 AM, Steven Nagy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: You'll get a build step for every project in your solution. For example, we have a solution (in 'SolutionToBuild') with 60 projects in it. Also, check for manual BuildStep tasks. Code like below could cause a heap of useless build steps: <CreateItem Include="c:\**\*.*"> <Output TaskParameter="Include" ItemName="AllMyFiles"/> </CreateItem> <BuildStep TeamFoundationServerUrl="$(TeamFoundationServerUrl)" BuildUri="$(BuildURI)" Message="%(AllMyFiles)" Status="Succeeded" /> (Untested but I presume the above code would suck) Maybe advise of some of the build step messages you are getting? Are they repeating the same thing over and over? ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>] On Behalf Of Damian Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>] Sent: Thursday, 19 June 2008 10:12 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [OzTFS] So many build steps in TFS2008 build that can't scroll down to see them all Anybody know why my TFS2008 build has so many steps (over a 1,000) that I can no longer scroll down in VS IDE to see them all?
