Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

I use VS.NET 2005 and using this command to build my asp.net web application in release mode :

cd "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\"
MSBuild "C:\Projects\MyProject.csproj" /t:Rebuild /p:Configuration=Release /verbosity:quiet /p:WarningLevel=0

@Canavar, I can not find any project file (.csproj) in the web site folder. Are you creating ASP.Net web application or creating New ASP.Net Web Site? My question is dealing with creating new ASP.Net Web Site.

I'm using Web Application, but , did you look at the "C:\Documents and Settings\USER_NAME\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects" directory for your *.csproj file ?

Canavar 2009-05-05 06:59:32

I suppose for web sites there is a *.sln file in "C:\Documents and Settings\USER_NAME\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\project_name\" you can use it to build your web site.

Canavar 2009-05-05 07:03:43

@Canavar, I have tried again, but there is no sln or csproj files in web site folder. Please check the EDIT 1 section of my original post for my screen snapshots. Any ideas what is wrong?

George2 2009-05-05 07:22:36

@George2 : I can not open your images in office :( but, visual studio stores your solution file into your Documents folder, not in your project folder. I'm not sure you looked at that folder.

Canavar 2009-05-05 08:31:34

@Canavar, I have checked you are correct that the solution file is there, but project file is not there.

George2 2009-05-05 09:27:59

@George2, you can use sln file to build your website. Is there a problem with it ?

Canavar 2009-05-05 10:35:25

@Canavar, I have tried to use msbuild XXX.sln, but met with the following error. Any ideas what is wrong?ASPNETCOMPILER : error ASPRUNTIME: The precompilation target directory (D:\Test\App\Website\PrecompiledWeb\Website\) cannot be in the same tree as the source application directory (D:\Test\App\Website\PrecompiledWeb\Website\).

Answer 2

+1 A:

"Web Applications" have .csproj files, "Web Sites" do not. http://damieng.com/blog/2008/02/07/web-site-vs-web-application

You want to compile it with aspnet_compiler.exe in the bin directory C:\windows\framework\version

Easier way is to use deployment projects or the "Publish Web Site" command in Visual Studio. (Right Click on website)

@Deviant, my purpose is using command line to automatically build/deploy all web site needed files (DLL for code behind file, aspx and images). Do you have any advice for solution in my situation?

George2 2009-05-05 07:43:16

I have another idea, could my task be completed easier if I create web application other than creating web site?

George2 2009-05-05 07:51:57

Yes it could, Then you could use Canavar's way , you'd have a csproj

Chad Grant 2009-05-05 07:54:08

Canavar's way? You mean?
