Launch ASP.Net project after build

Question

When working with an ASP.Net application, when I rebuild the solution, I would like it to automatically refresh the current version thats running through the integrated server in the browser.

I have looked through post build commands and afterbuild targeting but I have not been successful so far. I would like to do this straight through VS2008 if possible without needing to install anything extra, put if thats not possible then any solution would do!

Is this possible?

Answer 1

The simplest way to do this is with AutoIt

Create a script with the following code in it

WinActivate("Enter the name of your web app here")
Send("^{F5}")

Next put the script into a batch file and call the batch file in the postBuild event. This will refresh the page after successful build.
