How do I get WebSite VS2012 Build to create bin\release\*.dlls
Please Sign up or sign in to vote.
0.00/5 (No votes)
I have a solution with 15 interrelated projects, one of them being a website project, another being a winform project. In Debug configuration mode solution build succeeds and the website runs perfectly. when I go to Release configuration, only the projects referenced by the winform project get bin\release\*.dlls created. The ones that are website only do not get built. When I try to publish the website it fails indicating the references do not exist (since the dlls are not created).

Is there any trick in getting the website related projects to build release versions?

The messages are all ...
Could not get dependencies for project reference 'AspDotNetStorefrontCore' KBO.Web-8
Metadata file 'E:\1Data\1DSI\Projects\klp\ASPDotNetStoreFront\ASPDNSFCore\bin\Release\AspDotNetStorefrontCore.dll' could not be found

- Right-click on your web project -> choose 'Properties'
- In the 'Configuration' combobox on top, choose 'Release'
- Go to 'Build' tab => what is the build path indicated here? Is it a valid one?

I think that only applies to Web Applications. Mine is a Web Project promoted from 2008 -> 2010 -> 2012. The configuration manager under the build menu does not specify build path either.

Did you get this to work? I have the same exact scenario.
