Publish ASP.net project with MSBuild

  Method 1: To execute a custom MSBuild script file by calling MSBuild Step one: Create an MSBuild script file and copy it to the path where the target project is located. Step two: Use MSBuild to execute the above script file.      [msbuild.exe Path]/p:publishproject=[target project]; Configuration=release; Publishdestination=[publish destination dir]/t:publishtofilesystem [MSBuild file]         Example:   & nbsp   MSBuild script file (saved as Sampleproject.build):

<?xml version= "1.0" encoding= "Utf-8"?> <project toolsversion= "4.0"
Publishtofilesystem "
         xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003 ">
     <import Project = "${publishproject}"/>
     <target name= publishtofilesystem "dependsontargets=" Pipelinepredeploycopyallfilestoonefolder ">
          <ItemGroup>
               <publishfile include=" ${_ Packagetempdir}\**\*.* "/>
          </ItemGroup>
          <copy sourcefile=" @ (publishfile)
                Destinationfiles= "@ (publishfile-> ' $ (publishdestination) \% (recursivedir)% (Filename)% (Extension) ')"
                skipunchangedfiles= "True"/>
     </Target>
</Project>

  command line execution:>cd C:\Workspace\SampleProject >MSBuild/p:PublishProject=SampleProject.csproj; Configuration=release; Publishdestination=\\192.168.1.2\sampleproject/t:publishtofilesystem Sampleproject.buildMethod 2: With Nant or similar tools, first invoke MSBuild compilation, then copy the result file to the target publishing pathStep One: Call MSBuild compilation target the path to the project compilation result is: [asp.net project dir]/obj/[debug/release]/package/packagetmp Step two: Copy the results from the previous step to the publish path       Example (Nant script):

<exec program= "${msbuild.exe}" workingdir= "${sampleprojectdir}" >
     <arg value= "Sampleproject.csproj"/ >
     <arg value= "/p:configuration=release"/>
     <arg value= "/clp:errorsonly"/> <arg
     value = "/t:pipelinepredeploycopyallfilestoonefolder"/>
</exec>
<copy todir= "${publishdestination}" "Overwrite=" True >
     <fileset basedir= "${sampleprojecttmppackagedir}" >
          <include name= "**.*"/ >
     </fileset>
</copy>
