TITLE   :PRB: F5 Key Does Not Build and Run Application in One Step
PRODUCT :Microsoft C Compiler
PROD/VER:
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbide kbVC kbprb

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - The Visual Workbench Integrated Debugger, used with:
    - Microsoft Visual C++, versions 1.0, 1.50, 1.51, 1.52 
    - *EDITOR Please do not choose this product*Microsoft Visual C++ 32-bit Edition* use 241, 265, 225, versions 1.0, 2.0, 2.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========


An attempt to build and run the project loaded in the Visual Workbench by
pressing the F5 key fails when one of the project targets is out- of-date.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior is by design. If an application takes a long time to build, you
may not expect the application to run after a background compilation initiated
with the F5 key.

RESOLUTION
==========

Press the F5 key once to build the project. Then press the F5 key again to run
the application.

MORE INFORMATION
================

In the Visual Workbench, if a project file changes and the user presses the F5
key to run the program, the following message box appears:

   One or more targets are out of date, or do not exist. Would you like to build
   them?

If you choose Yes, Visual Workbench compiles and links the application. If you
press the F5 key a second time, after the build process completes, the program
runs.
