Vs.net web project build folder

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

Hi, I'm evaluating FinalBuilder for my team. I have a vs.net 2003 solution with 3 projects in it, 1 dll, 1 win app, and 1 asp.net web app. I currently have my dev folder setup on c:\projects on my laptop and this is where I do all my dev work. Now I'm building a FB script to do a fresh get from VSS to c:\build on the same machine. I think instruct FB to do a vs.net rebuild on the solution in c:\build. The dll and win app projects build fine to their bin folders under c:\build. However, the web app is building to my dev folder under c:\projects, I'm guessing because that's where the IIS web site is pointing to (though I'm not sure about that). Is there a way to force vs.net to build to my c:\build folder structure when building through FB?

I'm using FB 5 that I downloaded yesterday.

Thanks

Bill

Hi Bill

Unfortunately Visual studio controls where the files are output… we are calling devenv.com to build the solution. We spent some time on this a while back to see if we could have it build elsewhere, with little success. The way visual studio treats web applications is annoying to say the least.
You will have to use some copy or move files actions to put the files where you want them.
