Azure devops build pipeline

Question

I have created a sample Website project with a single page having HellowWord.aspx and HellowWord.aspx.cs. I am trying to create an Azure DevOps build pipeline for this project. The following are the tasks I have added to my build package.

But the publish artifacts always contains the aspx and aspx.cs file. Not sure which tasks I am supposed to add to make the proper publish package. Which will create proper dlls for .aspx file instead of aspx.cs.

Answer 1

Publish build artifacts task has an argument Path to publish, which defines the folder or file path to publish. This can be a fully-qualified path or a path relative to the root of the repository. Wildcards are not supported. Variables are supported. Example: $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory). By default, this argument uses variable $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory).

So you need to check your Copy files task, to see what you have copied to $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory), and copy the correct files in this task.
