Learning SmartAssembly - 6.2

Building your project

After you have reviewed all of the project settings, you can build your project. To build the project, on the Project menu, click Build.

During the build process, SmartAssembly reports on on the progress of your build, confirming whether the application of each setting was successful.

When the build is completed, you can open and run the new assembly.

You can integrate SmartAssembly in your Visual Studio build process by running SmartAssembly in command line mode in Visual Studio's post-build event.

If the build fails

If your project does not build, a warning message is displayed explaining why and how the failure occurred. If a particular operation caused the failure, return to the Project Settings and change the options, then rebuild the project. See Troubleshooting after building.

Marking the build as released

If you release the build, and you use error reports, you must mark the build as released to prevent the build's map file from being deleted. Without the map file, SmartAssembly cannot open error reports. For more information, see About map files.

To mark a build as released, either:

Immediately after building your assembly, click Mark as Released.
Within 180 days of building your assembly (or within 180 days of the last error report being received, whichever is later), use the /markasreleased command line switch.
See Using the command line mode.
