Speed up build to debug in Visual Studio using Umbraco

I have a Microsoft Visual Studio solution/web site that includes several other project dll's within the bin folder. When I make changes to other projects and wish to only update the dll and start debugging, I have to sit for a minute or two while the '/App_Code/' folder is built.

Is there anyway to update the dll's and start debugging without having to rebuild the entire solution?

Practically, no.

When changes to .dll's are detected in the bin directory within an asp.net application it will always restart. Similarly when using the special App_Code directory changes to files will trigger a recompilation of the files in turn restarting the application.

If you want to debug without recompiling the code, this can be achieved by running the application in a local IIS instance and using Debug > Attach to Process > w3wp.exe (Show processes from all users).
