ASP.net Web Forms, get aspx/view errors at compile time?

Question

I know this can be done with mvc2, but is there any way for visual studio(2010)/resharper(6) to check for errors on aspx pages at compile time and halt the build? Resharper

Answer 1

Yes you can. The following steps will cause .aspx files to be compiled as part of a normal builk invoked by the IDE, no Resharper plugin required.

• Unload your web app (right click on the project and select ‘Unload Project’)
• Open the .csproj file in a text editor (right click on the project and select ‘Edit myProjectName.csproj’)
• At the bottom of the file find the comment which says ‘To modify your build process…’ and insert the following after that comment:
