but it dosn't work. How can I do it? thanks

Answer 1

According to the MSDN reference for /Clean the syntax is:

devenv /clean SolnConfigName SolutionName [/project ProjName] [/projectconfig ProjConfigName]

For example:

devenv /clean Debug "C:\Documents and Settings\someuser\My Documents\Visual Studio\Projects\MySolution\MySolution.sln" /project "CSharpWinApp\CSharpWinApp.csproj" /projectconfig Debug

Answer 2

I replaced "The\Path\to\the\FileToClean.vcproj" with "FileToClean". Now it works
