can we run app2container directly on the source code instead of published files

Question

can we run app2container directly on the source code instead of published files, 
usecase: we have a requirement to run app2container (.net framework 4.5.2) we do not have access to publish files but the source code and need to containerize the applications. (migration not in scope for now)
so is it possible to run app2container directly on the source code.

Accepted Answer

Hi, No, we can't.

We need to host the application in IIS (which can be localhost) in order to use App2Container.
And you can analyze and containerize App2Container.

As another option, if you just want to do containerization, you can add DockerFile by adding Docker support in Visual Studio for minimal containerization.
