hi i've just added Combres to my ASP.NET MVC project and it bines the CSS files into one CSS and the JS files into one JS file smoothly, but for some reason it does that without minification.

any idea why ? (note- i just added the yui minifier. it doesnt press my file with it our with it...) here's my bres.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<bres xmlns='urn:bres'>
  <cssMinifiers>
    <minifier name="yui" type="Combres.Minifiers.YuiCssMinifier, Combres">
      <param name="CssCompressionType" type="string" value="StockYuiCompressor" />
      <param name="ColumnWidth" type="int" value="-1" />
    </minifier>
  </cssMinifiers>
  <resourceSets url="~/bres.axd" defaultDuration="30"
                                defaultVersion="auto"
                                defaultDebugEnabled="auto" >

Since you set defaultDebugEnabled to auto, debug setting in web.config will be picked up. If you are in debug mode (as specified in web.config), there will be no minification. Either change defaultDebugEnabled to false or switch to release mode in your ASP.NET app.

You can refer to the section Debugging Support in this article for more information.

You have to enable minification: See this article: http://www.codeproject./KB/aspnet/bres2.aspx
