Visual Studio compiles WPF application twice during build
- by Brian Ensink
I have a WPF app in VS2008 that compiles twice during the build. The two CSC command lines are similar but with some differences. The first CSC command line does not have an /resource options, the second has two /resource options on the command line.
The second CSC command line has these additional arguments:
/resource:"obj\Debug AutoCAD\VisualApp.g.resources" /resource:"obj\Debug AutoCAD\CAP.Visual.Properties.Resources.resources"
I hate to post such a huge ugly compiler output but here are both command lines.

Any idea what could possibly cause this? I think this is causing a problem I posted about earlier today.
