Continuous Integration with CruiseControl.NET and Draco.NET
Justin Gehtland does an excellent job of describing the pros and cons of both products, Draco.NET and CruiseControl.NET. However, there are no links for either product that users can follow to try the products themselves.

Can't print the article!
I can't print the article wihtout chopping the words on the RHS. Even in landscape mode. That lame BuildResult element in the code example screwed up the whole page because it's too wide. You should insert line breaks instead of spaces between the schema URIs.

NANT and CI Articles ROCK!
So nice to see someone so well versed in the open source .net tools and the needs of unit testing and CI. This is EXACTLY the kind of stuff i was hoping theserverside.net would have. Awesome articles....keep em coming.
Some ideas for future articles:
1. Team Development with VS.NET, Source Control, UT & CI. There's an analagous article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/tdlg_rm.asp
2. Source Control Best Practices - Whats the best taxonomy for Source Control databases, Solutions checked in or not? Class Libraries and Web Apps seperated by systems, namespaces, etc?
Thanks again!
Greg

Why not use Visual Studio as the build tool
Justin,
Good article, I found it very interesting.
Why do you discount Visual Studio as a build environment? I know it is big and not free but are there any other reasons?
My current project is forced to use VS.NET, as it is the only environment in which Smart Device projects can currently be built (Nant does not support them yet). Unfortunately our script duplicates some of the functionality of Draco.NET and CC.NET and we have had to write a few little pieces of automation for PVCS as well so I would like to move to Draco.NET as our "continous integration server". But we find that by running it from a VBScript we can do most of what we want with Visual Studio as our "builder".

Thanks for your comments
First and foremost, the longer your build process takes and the more often it needs to run, the more likely VS.NET is to absorb all the available system resources and bring down the build box. Mostly, though, I abhor installing a development environment on any of my non-dev machines (be they build, test, deploy, monitor, whatever servers) because it messes with my ability to understand what the code is doing. VS.NET is so huge, and affects its environment in so many ways, and I just don't want that interfering with processes that don't require its presence.
Now, I fully understand that there are some instances where it just can't be avoided, and in those cases, I don't see a problem using it (after all, its that or nothing, right?) Heck, if it works for your team on regular projects, go for it. I just find it too expensive (in money, system resources, etc.) to install it everywhere on my infrastructure.

Excellent Article!
Excellent article, Justin.
Nicely written, easy to understand. I will be showing it to my team-members, to help them start off with CI. Will the article be archived or phased out? If so, I would like to host a copy of it on my website. To whom do I send the request for permission to host a copy?
