[How Do I:] Use MSBuild to Automate the ASP.NET Compiler and Merge Utilities

In this video Chris Pels shows how to create an MSBuild project that orchestrates the execution of the aspnet_compiler and aspnet_merge utilities for an ASP.NET web site. First, learn the fundamentals of the compilation process for an ASP.NET web site and the role of the two command line utilities. Next, see how to create an MSBuild project file and the primary elements such as PropertyGroup and Target. Then learn the details of how to execute the aspnet_compiler and aspnet_merge utilities from the MSBuild project. Lastly, several potential expansions of the core concepts are discussed.

Hi Chris,

I am not too familiar with MSBuild although I have some experience with Asp.Net. I always deploy assemblies when I want to deploy frameworks or just classes files.

Why to deploy an entire Website to a single .DLL ?

Thanks in advance.

Dunno if you (author) saw it but the command line -? (help) view doesn't show up at all in this video, whenever it was shown. Only a blank screen is shown, as if the command was thinking forever.

Great Job Chris. Thank you. Regarding the merge and build utility , is there any other benefit in accomplishing these tasks beside naming conventions?

Thank you.
