VS2010 auto build

FinalBuilder Discussion

Hi,

How do I get FinalBuilder to auto-build my VS2010 solutions whenever a developer checks in to TFS? 

Thanks,

Sam

Sam,

You really have two options depending on what software you are using. Option 1, which is the option we are currently using, you use the FinalBuilder TFS build template. When you check something in, TFS build kicks off the FinalBuilder process and can even prevent the checkin if you are using gated checkins. Option 2 would only apply if you are using FinalBuilder server. Essentially you can set up a trigger in FinalBuilder server that runs whenever someone checks in something to TFS. We are also using option 2 here as well. Both work really well.

Thanks,

Nick

HI Sam,
Nick is spot on. This article goes into some more detail on combining TFS and FB: https://www.finalbuilder.com/articles.aspx?ID=42

If you decide to go with TFS as the CI server, this article should help you get up and running: https://www.finalbuilder.com/articles.aspx?ID=38
