Is it possible to invoke the publish web site command in visual studio 2005
from a command line?
(for example, building a solution can be started from the command line with
devenv.exe /build ...).

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Welcome to MSDN newsgroup.
As for the VS2005's publish website function, it actually do the following
things:
1. Precompile the website (page files and source code , other resources
..) into assemblies

2. Deploy the precompiled site to the target site(location) , it could be
local file dir, IIS vdir (http://) (local or remote...)

However, in comandline , due to the limitation of UI, we can not complete
the #2 steps mentioned above. Based on my research the we can use the
"aspnet_compiler.exe" tool to precompile our web site and put the
precompiled output website to a local file directory. Then, we can deploy
that precompiled website to target location.....

In addition, the ASP.NET dev team has also provided a new web deployment
project which is a VS2005 add-on which can provide more advanced
precompilation options and also support command line execution. You can
find some information about the Web deployment project here:

Hope helps. Thanks,

Hi Steven,
thanks for your answer. I knew about the web deployment project, and in fact
this is what I would like to use. But unfortunately it currently does not
work for me:

I will therefore have a look at aspnet_compiler.exe. I do not need to
publish to a remote site, but only to a local directory.

Thanks and best regards,
Martin
