Asp – How to build a .NET website using Nant

asp.netcscmsbuildnantnet

I usually use web applications in Visual Studio and the MSBUILD taks in Nant builds them without any problems:

<msbuild project="MySolution.sln">
  arg value="/property:Configuration=release" />
</msbuild>

I now have a website (not a web application) in a VS Solution and it won't build – I get a lot of namespace errors.

Should I be able to build the solution with MSBUILD even though it contains a website? Or do I need to use CSC?

You should try using the devenv.exe command if msbuild.exe is failing for you. Also you may be interested in Web Deployment Projects.
