Web Deployment Projects Visual Studio 2008 - RTW
January 27th, 2008The release of Visual Studio 2008 Web Deployment Projects - RTW is out. After working with the December CTP over the last month I am glad to see this release. I had several problems with the CTP which should all be resolved now. After a couple of tests with the new RTW release everything appears to be working.
Previously the biggest problem was the failure of the build to clear the output directory before attempting to move the temporary build directory. It caused many incomplete builds in a sporadic way which made it hard to figure out. The fix for the CTP was to implement the AfterMerge task to blow away the output directory and move the temporary directory in place, as it should have done automatically. Now all my scripted automation goodness is back on track.
