How to publish an Asp.Net MVC 2 application using commandline?

In Visual Studio 2010 we can right click a Web application and select Publish from the Menu. Using this we can publish a web application to a File System.

How can we achieve the same using Command line?

EDIT: Although we can use xcopy as suggested it is not same as Publish command as we have to manually exclude unnecessary files.

You can pass optional properties to the MSBuild script to call MSDeploy (Assuming you have it setup on both the client/server).

/p:DeployOnBuild=True – This will let us deploy after build

/p:DeployTarget=MsDeployPublish – This set how we will deploy, using MSDeploy

/p:MSDeployServiceURL=http:///MsDeployAgentService

/p:DeployIISAppPath="Default Web Site" – The path where the app will be deployed

/p:CreatePackageOnPublish=True – Create a package to deploy the App

/p:MsDeployPublishMethod=RemoteAgent – Server where the MSDeploy is installed. The possible values for this are:

RemoteAgent – When the MSDeploy is deployed at another machine

InProc – Deploy to the Local IIS

/p:AllowUntrustedCertificated=True – Connect to the MSDeployServiceURL without trying to use certificate.

To use a certificate you should use another URL on the MSDeployServiceURL.

/p:UserName=username – The username of a user with permission to Deploy the application

/p:Password=password – a VALID password for that user :)

You're looking for Aspnet_compiler.exe to publish using the command line.

If using MSBuild then you need the AspNetCompiler Task.

The options the Aspnet_compiler provides are the same as those provided by Visual Studio's Publish option.
