What is the difference between: Build & Rebuild?

Question

Hello: Just a general question: What is the difference between 'Build Solution' and 'Rebuild Solution'? Also what does 'Clean Solution' do?

Rebuild means compile and link all source files regardless of whether they were changed or not. Build means compile and link only the source files that have changed since the last build. Clean solutions means Visual Studio removes all the dlls (which are generated in the last build). Hope this helps.
