Have you created a Web Deployment Project for your web site? The most
effective method for deploying web site project via Nant is to first
create a web deployment project, set the output path in that project
file. Then after you have built your project, you can use all the other
Nant tasks to operate on that output.
We use this technique regularly for automated deployment of built and
integrated web sites for testing and production deployment.

withmsbuildtask
ok. So, by default Output path is set to bin\ folder and the solution
is doing the build on say "Release" configuration. By setting output
path to some folder other then say bin\, will it copy all .aspx etc..
for web application.
Basically I am looking for what publishing a site does from MSBUILD. I
want to then take all that content and zip it up so that I can do a
OnceClick deployment.
Also, what does web deployment project will give me and the benefits of
using it with Web Application type of projects(not web site).
I can use xcopy but I want to avoid having to worry about excluding .cs
file and the others that I dont want on my web server.

I think the easiest way to do this is to set up a build configuration in
your solution that specifies where you want the output to go to.
Other than that you can just use the copy task after the msbuild task to
move your files.
You may also want to look at creating a web deployment project in your
solution which I think MSBuild will run.
As I said, several options here.

Subject: [NAnt-users] how to publish or output to a directory with
msbuildtask
I need to modify my nant scripts to publish or output web application to
a directory. So, currently we have following in the nant scrpit:
<
msbuild project="${Solution.Filename}" >
<
property name="Configuration" value="${Solution.BuildConfiguration}" />
<
property name="Platform" value="Any CPU" />
</
msbuild>
What I would like to do is create an output directory under each project
and let MSBUILD task also publish or output it ot that directory. Then
later on I can package that directory via zip and deploy it to various
servers. It would be nice if it could have built in
${ProjectDir}\output or something like that.
Any help would be appricated. Thanks.
by the way I tried following inside msbuild and it seems to publish
console projects etc.. but not Web Application type of project. It
gives me some error about non publishable project or something.
