Browse info and build

When I turn off "BscMake tool" in the Tool Build Order dialog box, the browse info is indeed not updated, but Visual Studio always thinks that the project is not up to date, each time I try to launch the program it prompts me to build it, and when I say yes it doesn't build anything as the bscmake step is skipped. Is there a way to tell the IDE to ignore that the browse info is not updated

Thanks,
Flavio.

P.S.: disabling bscmake is recommended in the docs to shorten build times, so that one can choose to update the browse info only once every few builds:

Tip:
You can turn on .sbr file generation but leave .bsc file generation turned off. This provides fast builds but also enables you to create a fresh .bsc file quickly by turning on .bsc file generation and building the project.

disable browse info by turning off the compiler option to generate .sbr files. I don't believe that "tip" is applicable to the whidbey version of Visual Studio.

actually, I take that back. I don't repro the behavior that you describe in the most recent build of VS whidbey. having .sbr generation turned ON and the bsctool turned OFF (via the tool build order dlg), my builds are correctly up-to-date after being built.
