How deploy Application Page - Missing WSP file

Question

I have made a project in VS 2010 and added an application page to the project. When i build the project i get no WSP file. There is also no items in feature . If i add a WebPart item, then i get a feature and the WSP file from build.

How can i create the WSP file without adding other features?

Answer 1

I did the following and it worked for me:

1. In Visual Studio 2010 Create a New Empty SharePoint Project
2. Right click the project - Add New Item - Application Page
3. From the menu - Build-> Build (No WSP)
4. From the menu - Build-> Package (WSP in BIN/Debug Folder)

Answer 2

You can do that. You must insert the resource inside an existing feature through the wsp designer tool under visual studio 2010
