PRB: Compile and Build Menu Items Are Disabled

Last reviewed: May 12, 1997
Article ID: Q168386

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual Studio, Professional Edition 97

SYMPTOMS

Open Visual InterDev. Start a project (for example, a Database) and add a Java file to the project. When you try to compile the Java file, the options are grayed out.

CAUSE

Some project types are not "buildable" projects. That is, some project types naturally do not have a build process (such as an InterDev project). Therefore, there is no option to build or compile files.

RESOLUTION

Files that need to be built must be placed in a buildable project. Visual C++ and Visual J++ projects are buildable. Visual InterDev projects are not buildable.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
