ASP.Net MVC MvcBuildViews increasing compile time drastically

Question

We have a project and would like to build the views to generate compile time errors if there is anything wrong within the Views\' .cshtml files.

Still, compile time incr

Answer 1

Well I think having the possibility to compile the views is a good thing by itself but I cannot wait that long either. So what I prefer to do is to add that MvcBuildViews = true inside the ProperyGroup of Release so that you only Compile the views at the Release time and before deployment

The property group should look like this:

<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|AnyCPU' "> 

So put your

<MvcBuildViews>true</MvcBuildViews>

Inside this Release block. this way you still compile your views once and not every time you try to debug...
