How to use MSBuild to deploy an ASP.NET MVC application [closed]

Answer 1

I use msbuild directly, skipping nAnt. You can call it with a build file as a property and specify the target from the command line. Here is a sample soultion.build file:

     
  
  
    Debug
    bin$(Configuration)
    .\
    DALTests\
    $(ProjectDir)SSN.sln
    $(ProjectTestDir)DALTests.csproj
  

  
  
    
    
  

  
  
    
      

    
    
  

I call this from a batch file like this: (in the same dir as soultion.build)

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe Soultion.Build /Target:Build

You will need the MSBuild Community Tasks dll, just google it.
