How to do parallel assembly in Visual Studio 2013?

Question

According to this MSDN article:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cyz1h6zd.aspx

one "can run multiprocessor builds for C ++ and C # projects." using the IDE. My solution contains only C # projects, but when I make a "Build Solution", I see only one MSBuild process in the task manager and one csc.exe process.

In Tools → Options → Projects and Solutions → Build and Run I have a “maximum number of parallel projects” set to 4, and my computer has 4 cores.

Is it possible to configure VS2013 to build solutions projects in parallel?

Answer 1

I tested the option that you mentioned in my larger solution, with many independent projects in VS2013, and it creates these projects in 4 new processors with processors.

If your projects depend on each other, it will be difficult to build at the same time. But it mainly works in VS2013.

For reference, this parameter:

Box 8 in them spawned 8 assembly processors.
