The only downside to this method is that you need to know the dependencies ahead of time and manually put them in the build file. One would think that a utility to do this for you would exist...
Then again, most people using .NET technologies are using VB or C#. Unfortunately, this means that people using C++ are left behind because our issues are left on the back burner. -- Edwin G.

This will cause the compiler to recompile. http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/help/tasks/uptodate.html http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/help/tasks/touch.html I don't know if the compiler is able to detect dependencies (like header changes) itself, but this will force it.
