I tried your tool briefly in a MVC3 project where it worked great. However I'd love to have it available also in my VS "Web Site" projects. In those I dont get the sass, less and coffee-templates in the file new dialogue. When I instead create the files manually the intellisense and syntax highlight works fine, but the "compilation" to .css and .js does not work (VS tries to create a .cs-file instead). Is it supposed to work? And if not - do you plan to add support for it? Many thanks Jonas Eriksson

Just wanted to add - the workaround I use is to simply add an empty web application project into the same solution and there I place my sass and coffee-files. Then I only need to copy the resulting js and css-files from there to my web site. |

Hi Jonas, Thanks for the feedback. We've had a couple of people asking about getting it to work in Web site projects but we haven't yet found a way to make this work. We're going to try to follow up with Microsoft to see if this is possible, but we can't promise anything. You may find you can further automate your workaround by adding a post-build event to the Web Application project to do a file copy of the generated CSS and JS files into the Web Site project. This will depend somewhat on your project layout however. |

Unless I'm mistaken, you should just be able to rewrap the custom tool as a build provider and register it in the web.config file. |
