TFS - Publish Web Service with TeamBuild

TeamBuild is such a powerful tool. We use it to run our unit tests and publish our apps using ClickOnce. Recently we started using it to publish a web service. This code depends on MSBuildTasks from Tigris.

     <PropertyGroup>

      <DeploymentFolder>**SHARED FOLDER ON WEB SERVER**</DeploymentFolder>

      <DeployServerName>**WEB SERVER NAME**</DeployServerName>

      <ApplicationPoolName>ReportingWS</ApplicationPoolName>

      <VirtualDirectory>ReportingWS</VirtualDirectory>

      <WebBinariesLocation>$(BuildDirectoryPath)\Binaries\Release\_PublishedWebSites\ReportingWS</WebBinariesLocation>

    </PropertyGroup>

    <Target Name="AfterCompile">

      <RemoveDir Directories="$(DeploymentFolder)" ContinueOnError="true" />

      <Exec Command="xcopy /y /e /i $(WebBinariesLocation) $(DeploymentFolder)"/>

      <WebDirectoryDelete VirtualDirectoryName="$(VirtualDirectory)"

                          ContinueOnError="true"

                          ServerName="$(DeployServerName)"/>

      <WebDirectoryCreate VirtualDirectoryName="$(VirtualDirectory)"

                          VirtualDirectoryPhysicalPath="$(DeploymentFolder)"

                          ServerName="$(DeployServerName)"/>

    </Target>

Essentially, we just copy the executable files from the Web Service to a shared folder on our web server and map a virtual directory to that shared folder.
