I would like it if after compiling a c# assembly with the build command, =
I could have vstudio automaticly copy the assembly to my wwwroot/bin =
folder for debug and release builds, and GAC it for just release builds.

is there any way to do this?

Andy,

In the C# projects properties you should be able to set the output
folder to the \bin directory. The output location is per configuration
so you can set a different location for debug and release.

As for putting the assembly in the GAC. One way to do this, is to
create a Setup project in your solution and in the setup project I think
you can mark assemblies to go in the GAC.

Once you have that setup, you can set your solution configuration to
build and run the setup project which should put it in the GAC for
release builds. I think by default setup projects don't get built or
run, so you have to do this step.

Hope this helps.

hrm,

I want my assembly to go to BOTH the project bin folder AND the wwwroot =
bin folder.

I was thinking I could use the "setup project" thing you mention for =
that as well... point the install at my wwwroot bin folder, but does =
this mean that i'll have to step thru some install wizard for each =
build? is there a "silent install" option?

I have not tried this add-in but it looks like it might help you

Watch for URL wrapping

I use a C++ project in my solution with a .cmd file in it that runs the
commands I want. And in my solution I put it in the correct spot in my
build order.

If you like I can send you a sample project or post it here.

I noticed that Microsoft have a 'BuildRules' add-in available at
[http://msdn.microsoft.com/code/default.asp?URL=/code/sample.asp?url=/MSDN-F
ILES/026/002/526/msdncompositedoc.xml]

It just might do what you want.
