Visual Studio. Publish project from command line

Question

Is there a way to publish a web project in MS Visual Studio 2010 using CLI? I use DevEnv.exe /Build to build a project and it works fine, but I could not find option to Publish a project.

One other thing I want to mention. I am trying to publish web project NOT to the IIS directly. I have a location where I publish several projects and then build them automatically into NSIS bundle to be deployed.

Answer 1

From ASP.NET Web Deployment using Visual Studio: Command Line Deployment, you can use

msbuild myproject.csproj /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=MyPublishProfile

where MyPublishProfile is the profile name that you've already set up somewhere
