Hi,
I am using nant to compile and publish my web applications and am unsure whether to use nantconribs msbuild task or aspnet_compiler.exe.
I have a number of projects in my solution for business logic and data access.
When msbuild runs it compiles the solution and outputs to my /dist/ folder. All the dlls are in the root of this folder with an _publishedwesites subfolder which has the published web application in it. (on a side note, how would I just have the published web app in the root of /dist and not the dlls?)
using aspnet_compiler.exe publishes the web app to the root of /dist/ and in the bin folder where there are a couple of new dlls with compile in their name which are the compiled code behind.
My question is which solution should I be using. Does msbuild precompile the published web application like aspnet_compiler.exe does?
