Hi all.

Are you dreaming of compiling/building binaries without waiting hours for Visual Studio to open up?

This is something nice I picked up from one of the Integration guys at work

To download the fileSubscribe to our feed and you will find it at the bottom of it

double click it and your there…

The result is this nice Windows Explorer or Total Commander context menu additional options:

Notes:1. It’s build debug only version.
