When building a web application project, TFS 2008 builds two separate projects in _PublishedFolder.
- by Steve Johnson
I am trying to perform build automation on one of my web application projects built using VS 2008.
The _PublishedWebSites contains two folders: Web and Deploy.
I want TFS 2008 to generate only the deploy folder and not the web folder.
Here is my TFSBuild.proj file:
<Project ToolsVersion="3.5" DefaultTargets="Compile" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\TeamBuild\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets" />

I want to build everything that the builtin Deploy project is doing for me. But I don't want the generated web project as it contains App_Web_xxxx.dll assemblies instead of a single compiled assembly. How can I do this?
