Lost dll in VS2005 project converted from VS2003

[Peter Bradley]

We have upgraded an ASP.NET solution from VS2003 (.NET 1.1) to VS2005 (.NET
2.0). On rebuilding the solution, no dll appears in the bin folder of the
Web site. Is this the usual case for VS2005 solutions? If so, how can a
solution be deployed? If not, can anyone suggest what might have happened?

Peter,

Yes, it is the usual case. The default deployment model is different. If you
install the Service Pack 1
http://msdn.microsoft.com:80/vstudio/support/vs2005sp1/default.aspx , you
will be able to use VS2003-style project model.

Just note that you should install SP1 rather then VS 2005 Web Application
Project tools.
