Could you clarify that strong name thing, please? VS compatibility is a good thing, but I don't see it as necessarity in my case. We have extra features in solution, and maybe ability turning off something VS does, is not so bad as well. Anyway, we need strong names support in any case, that's sure. > > I want to do CLEAN build, so I <delete> all output files, all "obj" > > folder and still - there is hidden cache!

Yes - it is. But sometimes it's not a problem. I do not mind if nighly build takes 2 hours instead of 1 at all.

Is this totally needed? Say - other than AssemblyKeyFile relative path will broke?

Yes - temp was bad example. In fact, obj folders are not so bad. They are local to sourcecode, one is used to them from VS etc. But VSWebCache is bad in my eyes. That is something like static variable in multithreaded application. You never know, when and what it broke.
