The only issue you've mentioned is that you noticed that C# code compiles differently to C code, so I can only assume that this is the problem you're referring to. If so, the solution really isn't "shut up and deal with it", the solution is to realise this isn't a problem. There is a way to simulate the C build process, but it'd make your compile take at least three times longer than normal and would make maintenance of your project such a gigantic pain that you'd revert back to the normal (fast) workflow within days. As a single datapoint, 35,000 lines of code (excludes whitespace) can compile in under 2.5 seconds using gmcs on my rather modest 1.86ghz laptop with 5400 rpm harddrive. A computer with a faster hd will compile faster I'm sure. Alan. > > > Charlie Poole wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > I remember being equally surprised when I moved from C++ > > to C#.
