RE: [GD-Windows] declspec?

[Daniel V. <Dan...@ep...>]

There are a couple of cases where VS.NET doesn't pick up correctly on
changes and you need to manually perform a full rebuild/ relink. And
there are a few cases where updating project files via source control
while VS.NET is running doesn't work reliably and you need to re-open
the solution. Having incremental linking enabled is another source for
potential issues that go away with full rebuilds.

I usually just re-open the solution and do a full rebuild whenever I get
really bizarre problems that *shouldn't* happen :)
