I'm looking for a visual studio plugin with the following functionality:

On building the project or executing the tool, the plugin looks for all *.js and *.css files in your project and compresses/minimizes them into *.min.js and *.min.css files.

Executing the tool on project build would enable you to keep the references to *.min.js in your pages while changes to the *.js files would be instantly written to the *.min.js files.

Is there such thing available? If not what's the closest thing to automize tasks like that?

Extra question: How about auto combining files?

That's pretty much what I was looking for. Thanks for the link.

You probably be better off doing it with NAnt and coding it to run the compression. Automated process is always better than a manual one.
