+In any given build, files that get generated during the build behave differently from static files (such as source files). For this reason, it's important to understand [How MSBuild Builds Projects](build-process-overview.md). The two phases are [Evaluation phase](build-process-overview.md#evaluation-phase) and [Execution phase](build-process-overview.md#execution-phase). During Evaluation, MSBuild reads your project, imports everything, creates properties, expands globs for items, and sets up the build process. During Execution, MSBuild performs the build by running targets and tasks with the data it parsed during Evaluation.
