The easiest way to automate the functionality included in Visual Studio’s “publish” action available from the Build menu is to use the web deployment project. There’s one for VS2005 as well. Basically it’s an extra project that you add to your solution that will target your web project and when built will publish your web project as part of the build process. It makes it dirt simple to automatically build a site as part of build without mucking with MSBuild (though MSBuild isn’t that difficult).
