I'm building an ASP.Net MVC project in TeamCity.
Can I somehow call the Publish target and get the output copied to a folder under IIS? or do I need to write an msbuild script for this?

I've written a pretty long blog post on this very topic that may interest you:
http://www.diaryofaninja.com/blog/2010/05/09/automated-site-deployments-with-teamcity-deployment-projects-amp-svn
basically:
Have you tried a Web Deployment Project (WDP)? I have multiple Web Application Projects (WAP) with associated WDPs that work great with TeamCity for deployment scenarios.
I use the sln2008 runner to build my solution (containing both the WAP and the WDP). I've modified the WDP project file (an MSBuild script) to copy the output to a network share:
<Target Name="AfterBuild" Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'Deploy' ">
<!-- copy WDP output to \\build02\wwwroot\Belden.Web.Intranet\ -->
<ItemGroup>
<MySourceFiles Include="$(OutputPath)**\*.*" />
</ItemGroup>
<Copy SourceFiles="@(MySourceFiles)" DestinationFiles="@(MySourceFiles->'\\build02\wwwroot\Belden.Web.Intranet\$(ProjectDir)%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)')" />
</Target>
I haven't tried this with MVC/WDP, but I imagine it would work the same ...
I believe you can: Publish sln. Have a look at the targets. Hopefully it will lead you in the right direction.
I also had a look at this a while ago but could but had no luck with publishing targets, maybe because my IIS resided on a different server. Here is how I did it anyway, hope it helps TeamCity deletes files on build have a look at the accepted answer.
