>>I have VS 2012 installed on this laptop and only have about 9GB of free space on the C: drive. So I am limited to what I can add to this laptop (like VS 2013 with Web Essentials which would be nice). While I do development on VS 2012 the DOTLESS converts the LESS file to CSS, dynamically. Now I am starting to test this project on a DiscountAsp.net site (I purchased just for testing). Since I don't know how to make the public site "understand" the LESS type file, I would like to convert the LESS file into the .CSS and then copy the .CSS to the public site.

In theory the dotless dynamic compile should work; I agree. But I have had some issues in the development mode. So I thought that it would be simpler to compile the .less to .css and then deploy it to the site. I will check out the links for the compilers in your message.
Thank you for your help!
