How to Build a .NET Website Using Nant

Question

I usually use web applications in Visual Studio, and the MSBUILD tags in Nant build them without problems:

<msbuild project="MySolution.sln">
  arg value="/property:Configuration=release" />
</msbuild> 

Now I have a website (and not a web application) in VS Solution and it will not be created - I get a lot of namespace errors.

Should I be able to create a solution using MSBUILD, even if it contains a website? Or do I need to use CSC?
