Polling using Visual Build

[Donal.Burke]

I am using Visual Build Professional to automate my builds and I would like to be able to schedule the builds when the files have been checked in to Vault.

I put a post on the Vault forum asking if there was a commad line option to achieve this, and they said that it is provide by an application called "Cruise Controll" which uses "Polling" to monitor vault.

Is it possible to achieve this in Visual Build Pro?

Sure. Attached is an updated version of the ContinuousIntegration.bld sample that demonstrates polling a Vault server for changes (using the history command) to trigger a build.

Alternatively, you can integrate VBP into CruiseControl.NET using its Executable Task: http://www.visualbuild.com/Manual/?continteg.htm
