Many times i lost my temper by waiting for the re-build to be finished. So i just attempted to tune and reduce the build time by removing unnecessary includes. At that time I just wondered how to get the build time?


Just follow the steps to enable the ‘Build Time’.

1) Take – Tools > Options.
2) Now take - Project and Solutions > VC++ Project Settings.
3) Now enable the ‘Build Timing’ option and rebuild your project.
