Need Help with Visual Web Developer 2008 Express

  1. I am a user of VS2003 and I have recently downloaded VWD 2008 Express.

    I notice that the build for VWD does not create a DLL. I did some research and it looks like I will need to use MSBUILD.exe to manually compile my project, but I need to maintain a vbproj file (which is not supported by my express edition).

    So, does anyone have a link that will help me navigate through the compile process, or am I doomed to purchase VS 2008?

    Thanks for your help!
     
  2. OK - I did some more digging around and it appears that MSBuild.exe works with the vbproj file in order to compile the web solution. I have located a number of very helpful sites with walkthroughs for editing the project file (which is key to using MSBUILD).
