I tried to get a pre compiled build from this code by adding
property.Add("OutputPath", @"c:\BuildDroplocation");
property.Add("DeployOnBuild", "true");
property.Add("WebPublishMethod", "FileSystem");
property.Add("PrecompileBeforePublish", "true");
However, it placed the build in output location without precompiled, is there any additional properties need to include?
