Ho to create a PrecompiledWeb folder with "Make VS.NET"

[RodrigoReboucas]

I've been trying to create a deployment "PrecompiledWeb" folder using the "Make VS.NET" step and selecting the property Build behavior " set to "Deploy/Publish" on the "Project/Solution" tab.

The "FileName" property is the app sln file path.
I test the step and the build succeeds. Is it possible to create a PrecompiledWeb folder just like if you were publishing an asp.net application inside Visual Studio?

Thanks!

My understanding was that it would create a PrecompiledWeb folder when building (see http://forums.asp.net/p/1110288/1709276.aspx#1709276). Another option might be to call aspnet_compiler directly.

In my shop we use Web Deployment Projects. These will precompile you web site projects. They are very customizable, and as long as they are seleced as part of your Debug/Release Configuration.

We use MSI deployment for websites. So a installion project usign the output from the Web Deployment Project to precompile the site and package it into an MSI.

We use MSI for easy installation and roll back in a production deployment.

There are sepeate add ons for 2005 and 2008. Make sure that you research if the part of the service packs for Visual Studio before installing.
