title: Building a VS2012 solution with Developer Command prompt
body: <p>I came across <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/498106/how-do-i-compile-a-visual-studio-project-from-the-command-line">this</a> thread which talks about building a solution from command prompt</p>
  
  <p>It states that you need to do</p>
  
  <pre><code>msbuild project.sln  /Flags...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now currently I have everything setup in VS2012 and all I do is build > Rebuild solution in debug mode.Everything is already setup in VS2012.I simply want to automate that process so In my batch file I do this</p>
  
  <pre><code>msbuild project.sln
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However I do not specify any flags is there a difference between the two.
  Isnt it suppose to pick up flags from the project.sln ?</p>
