Msbuild and data service reference

[chris.kennedy]

This is a little OT. I have a website which uses vb classes in the
app_code folder which in turn call a data service. I want compile the
app_code vb files into a separate dll (to use Sandcastle on them) with
MSBuild (it's a bit of a work around). When I run my MSbuild file I
need it to reference the classes created by service reference. How do
I reference them in my build file. Is this a complete nonstarter. I
have been told that we have to use website projects and I thought this
might be a workaround. Also what about the web config.
