I have been using Combres for my .NET app to minify, combine and compress my JavaScript and CSS. So far I have found it awesome.
It really does do everything it claims. Minifing your scripts and CSS, then combines them all so that all the code is sent via one HTTP request (well one for CSS and one for JavaScript). It also handles GZip or deflate compression should the request accept it. It is easy to set up since it is now available through NuGet and using it will make YSlow smile when it scans your site.
Logging
One thing that is annoying though is that Combres seems to log everything it does. "Use content from content's cache for Resource x...Use content from content's cache for Resource y" This is fine in development but unnecessary in production so I wanted to turn it off but couldn't find how to do this in any documentation.
The way I managed to turn off logging was to find the line in the web.config that combres put in that looks like this:
<combres definitionUrl="~/App_Data/combres.xml" logProvider="Combres.Loggers.Log4NetLogger" />
You simply need to remove the logProvider so it looks like this:
<combres definitionUrl="~/App_Data/combres.xml" />
If you still want logging on your development environment you can simply remove the logProvider attribute in a web.config transform.

Thank you! Been wanting to turn off logging for months. (That's right, this is a real comment! Blast you spam-bots and your atrocious yet amusing grammar!) For the newbies, the Web.config file is found at the root level of the ASP.NET solution folder.
