XNA terrain builder Problems - xna

Question

I am working from this tutorial and I had some issues with it.
http://www.riemers.net/eng/Tutorials/XNA/Csharp/Series1/Terrain_from_file.php
I used the code at the bottom of the page and I build and it gave me this error
EmbedXnaFrameworkRuntimeProfile:
Skipping target "EmbedXnaFrameworkRuntimeProfile" because all output files up-to-date with respect to the input files.
GenerateTargetFrameworkMonikerAttribute:
Skipping target "GenerateTargetFrameworkMonikerAttribute" because all output files are up-to-date with respect to the input files.
CoreCompile:

Ok that looks really horrible.
What I am doing is running this in XNA 4.0 and I think this comes from XNA 3.0 I dont think there should be any problem with that but just in case.
Thanks for any help with this

If you want an XNA 4 Terrain tutorial that uses heightmap based terrain like Reimers, I've created one that also uses a QuadTree, LOD and Culling. My culling uses a technique to project the view frustrum to 2D space rather than using a bounding frustrum and it greatly increased my performance. I haven't finished the final part of the tutorial yet because I'm seeing some small issues with the culling when the view distance is set too great that I haven't had time to take a look at yet, but the series is finished from loading the heightmap clear through rendering, culling and LOD. It's lengthy and wordy as I've tried to explain everything as I went:

I've also converted the code and have it working with Silverlight 5 XNA but I'm working on a paging system to make it more feasible since the terrain size is much smaller (Silverlight 5 uses the Reach profile and 16-bit indices which limits the overall size of the terrain chunk). Once I get time to work on that again I'll be posting it as well.
