Hi,

I'm using some automated deployment scripts to precompile, merge and upload my ASP.NET 2.0 websites. Until my upgrade to v3.5 Beta2 I simply used the aspnet_compiler application to precompile my webs: "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_compiler.exe" -v %1 -f -fixednames %1

With the 3.5 Version of the Framework there's no more aspnet_compiler.exe - at least not where it used to be. With Visual Studio 2008 I'm still able to precompile, though, but I want to be able to deploy my webs without Visual Studio. Does anyone know where I can find the "new" aspnet_compiler file or how I can automatically precompile (if possible without msbuild, I want to keep it as simple and lightweight as possible).

Thanks
~ Hannes

 

When you open the Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 Command prompt you can run aspnet_compiler.exe

Thanks for your suggestion, but I think it opens the "old" aspnet_compiler there. I've the german version of the 2.0 framework installe, but the english one of the 3.5b2 - and aspnet_compiler greets me in german.

There is no aspnet_compiler in .NET 3.5 because .NET 3.5 does not include ASP.NET. The latest version of ASP.NET was released as a part of the .NET Framework 2.0; howerver, since .NET 2.0 is a subset of the .NET Framework 3.5, you will find the aspnet_compiler in the same directory (%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\).

Thanks a lot, MetalJon - the answer was as easy as that :)
