Publish ClickOnce from the command line

Question

Is there a way to have Visual Studio 2008 execute the \"Publish Now\" button from the command line?

I\'ve seen posts that suggest to use msbuild /targe

Answer 1

To increment build numbers, I am using MSBuild Extension pack inside my .csproj file as follows:

This way, anytime the configuration is set to Release-VersionIncrement, the version number is changed. When this is done, I can use the following MSBuild command to publish it:

msbuild c:\projects\MyProject.csproj /t:ResolveReferences;_CopyWebApplication /p:Configuration=Release;BuildingProject=true;WebProjectOutputDir=c:\inetpub\wwwroot\OutputProject\MyProjectOutput;OutDir=c:\inetpub\wwwroot\OutputProject\MyProjectOutput

Note that this is for an ASP.NET 3.5 web application.
