Thanks Ken, I'll look into these options. BTW, we use Gomez for monitoring
here. Good stuff...

We do this on a regular basis. As Mr. Dix said, you will need to create a web
deploy project and include it in your solution. Once you've created this
project, in the Properties dialog box, there is a Output Assemblies option
which gives you various options for deploying separate DLLs or merging them
based on various criteria. Which option you choose depends on your enterprise
deployment and update requirements.
We often augment the web deploy project with additional Nant targets which deal
with the combining and merging of other external resources which are not part
of the project and solution definitions.
You can also edit the MSBuild script (project file) generated by the web deploy
project with custom commands--not for the feint of heart. Easier done in Nant,
but an option just the same.
You will need to pay close attention to the paths and locations for the runtime
image generated by the web deploy project. Also, when using MSBuild via Nant,
pay attention to the MSBuild temporary path the project options for your main
web site project properties. Directory conflicts can occur that are not
manifested when building within Visual Studio.
Hope this helps.

I think there is a tool, the aspnet_compiler that will allow you to join all of
these DLL’s into a single DLL. You would probably need to call it after calling
msbuild.
The other option is to add a Web Deployment project, which I think is a wrapper
around the aspnet_compiler. Then I believe MS build will run the web deployment
project.
The final option would be to move from a web site to a web application project
type. But you do loose a “small” bit of functionality if using profiles.

Subject: [NAnt-users] MSBuild with Web Sites
I've been struggling with using MSBuild on Web Sites for some time but have
never had time to bring it before an audience. Here's what I've been up
against:
1) For the web site, MSBuild creates a directory based on attributes set in
the SLN "PreCompiledWeb"
2) In this directory, MSBuild puts a bunch of "interim dll's"
3) In order to make the web site function without the source there (i.e.
runtime compilation), I need to deploy all of these dll's
My question: Is there a way to have MSBuild create a full dll, say
WebSite.dll, instead of stopping short with all of the "interim dll's"?
Thanks,
Eric
