Build Web Site or Build Solution

[hon123456]

Dear all,

I have created a website in Visual Studio 2008. Then I try
to run Build Solution or Build Web site. But after that, I cannot
found any compiled dll in the projects directory. Then I use Publish
Website, the compiled dll now can be found. My question is why I use
Build Solution and
Build Website, but no complied file is created. Or there maybe some
setting that I need to set
in order to let Build Solution or Build Web Site to create dll file?
Please Help.

Thanks.

The Build option places the compiled files in the debug or release
subfolder, depending on the current solution configuration. This is for
running the application locally.

The Publish option places the compiled files in the folder that you
specify, or it can publish the site directly to a web server for example
using FTP.
