TFS Build and workspace

Question

first, I'd like to apologize for my english, it's not my 1st language !

During a build configuration (TFS 2010), in the Workspace tab, I can specify the needed directories in order to avoid getting the whole source code every time I run a build.

Instead of doing this, is it possible to specify to the build to automatically get the projects in the solution to build and nothing else ?

Thanks a lot for your help ! :)

In short, no. You have to specify a folder to get the source code from because, when you build on a server, the build step is completely separate from the get step.

This behaviour in Visual Studio is provided when you open a solution, and it's a feature of the IDE intended to aid developers, but if you were building direct from the commandline you'd not get this help.
