We recently updated the version of VS2008 → VS2010 (and therefore upgraded the web deployment project to a proper deployment project).
Obviously, the new in the VS2010 web deployment is the introduction of Workflow as a template for the build process.
Previously, we used the MSBuild task in WDP to execute the Yahoo YUI Javascript / CSS compression module to minimize / compress javascript and css files.
Did you manage to complete this task with Visual Studio 2010?
I saw the new “SquishIt” compressor created by Justin Etheridge, but it’s not ideal because it is “compressed” on the fly (for example, on Application_Start - Global.ascx), which means that you still have to push all uncompressed files to your web server before grinding.
In the Workflow designer, I see a toolbar item called "MSBuild" - I just don't know how to use it to accomplish what I want.
Look tall and wide, no one seems to know how to do this.
EDIT
After almost 2 weeks, there is still no solution / answer. Has anyone encountered this problem? At the moment, we just completed the MSBuild task manually via VS Command Prompt after the build.
EDIT
Nothing yet!
