Use the Default BuildManager Instance. #19

Closed pragmatrix closed 8 years ago

As I've just found out, VS2015 is actually using the Default BuildManager instance for its build process. This could be useful for BuildOnSave in a number of ways:

To better coordinate the background build with the regular build process.
To optimize the build performance, because the BuildManager can reuse cached information.
To simplify BuildOnSave's code. The background build thread may not be required.

Interestingly, the BuildManager runs multiple build requests for the same solution in parallel. So this saves nothing. Closed for the time being.
