How to include another Console Application exe project on Asp.Net?

Question

I have two projects: .Net 4.0 Console Application and Asp.Net 4.0 Website (they are in one solution). Now I want to include the console application (its .exe) in the web application, because I need to run it on the server when the user clicks on a specific button.

Now I would like to enable it so that the console application is updated whenever I recompile the solution, so it remains relevant.

So ... how to include my .exe in my web application?

Ps. Link does not work:

Answer 1

Have you tried simply adding it as a "Project Reference" to your project website ? Right-click the website project, select "Add Link ..." and click on the "Projects" tab.

A quick test showed that by doing this, the console application project (.exe) was copied to the / bin folder on the website when I built the solution.

You can then use standard deployment mechanisms to ensure that this is copied to the server at the same time as other libraries.
