Is it possible in any way to troubleshoot the build process in Visual Studio? I'd like to see which part of the build specifically takes so much time.

A:
Tools\Options\Project and Solutions\Build and Run\MSBuild output verbosity -> verbose.
In the Output Window, you'll get a time summary at the end, and you can see at which point in the process there is a long pause.

Ok, so now I've information that target CoreCompile inside one of the projects takes 200202 miliseconds.. can I go deeper and check why?

CoreCompile typically is just running the command-line compiler on the source code (the command-line should show in the output window). At that point, you might need to ask a more specific question about that compiler (which compiler is it?).

A:
Watch the output window in visual studio during a build or build from the command line directly with MSBuild. You should be able to notice where the build process is spending most of its time.
