If I understand correctly with our deployments most code gets compiled on the workstation, and the aspx/ascx files get compiled on first access on the server. Is there anyway to precompile these?
I would like to do this to trigger compile errors at workstation compile time, rather than at “run-time” and also to potentially allow C# 4 features to work in views as we use .NET 3.5 on the servers.
Visual Studio provides the command-line tools aspnet_compiler and aspnet_merge, and I blogged about how to call them from a batch file.
You can also add aspnet_compiler as a Post-Build event in the project to find compilation errors, but it slows down build times.
If you develop for .Net 4, you need to have the .Net 4 framework installed on the web server.
