Can I disable all compilation in Visual Studio? -


this new 1 me. have been asked, legal reasons, setup laptop visual studio, disable ability compile projects/solutions. purpose enable browsing of source code, not allow building or executing it.

yes, know stupid question , unfortunately can't many details. i've asked using alternative text editors, have been told no. until can prove isn't possible (or have @ least made reasonable effort), have try , make work. notepad++ excellent alternative, has been rejected.

this in visual studio 2010 or later. there way can this?


update

after trying marius bancila's suggestion of removing compilers , msbuild, surprised find out vs continued work fine (except building, of course). did not expect functionality f12 (go definition) continue work.

this may mean there still remains ability build somewhere somehow. stands msbuild permanently deleted , visual studio build command not working, it'll take effort around (if way in fact exist).

you didn't projects should not possible build (vc++, vc#, vb.net, f#, etc.). starting vs2010 built using msbuild. if delete msbuild not able build inside visual studio. however, 1 can still able build command line, possibility see delete compilers come visual studio.
