How to extend target file to include registry settings for web project package

Web Development Tools Microsoft

Web project package and deployment targets files are written with extensibility in mind.  User can easily extend a property to include more functionalities in their package by using msbuild targets and properties.  If we check the Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets file under “%Program Files%MSBuildMicrosoftVisualStudiov10.0Web”, we can see the following, which means if file $(WebPublishPipelineProjectName).wpp.targets exists in the project directory, we’ll import it automatically when build package or publish. Here’s steps to create a customized target file to include some registry keys in the web ...

CLR Team
CLR Team

At the recent PDC, Scott Guthrie announced in his Silverlight 4 keynote that we had implemented a new feature, to enable developers to share certain assemblies between Silverlight and .NET. There are many differences between Silverlight and full .NET including WPF, and this new feature doesn’t solve those differences – in those cases, you’ll still need to compile your code twice. But in some cases, developers will write code that only uses features whose behavior is identical between Silverlight and full .NET, and in those cases, we want to enable that code to be shared. This post provides more detail on that sha...
