I want to use YUI Compressor (the original) and use it as part of typical MS build processes (Visual Studio 2008, MSBuild).
Does anyone have any guidance or thoughts on
Because the YUI Compressor is simply a command line tool, you could call it as part of a Pre or Post Build action. (If you delve deep enough into MSBuild, you can let it run only when the files have changed, speeding up your regular builds; VS is pretty lenient when it comes to customized MSBuild actions in your project file.)
You could use Gabe's answer as a guideline on how to develop using such a setup; you could also during the Render
of, say, a master page translate all non-minified url's in your with minified url's (a little tricky though, as
tags will show up in the middle of the
Text
property of LiteralControl
s).
