Compile Views in ASP.NET MVC

Question

I want an msbuild task to compile the views so I can see if there are compile time errors at well... compile time. Any ideas?

Answer 1

The answer given here works for some MVC versions but not for others.

The simple solution worked for MVC1 but on upgrading to MVC2 the views were no longer being compliled. This was due to a bug in the website project files. See this Haacked article.
