There will be occasions when building custom WebParts under a Continuous Integration strategy where you don’t necessarily want to just build on check-in, but also want to run continuous builds on a time laced schedule, regardless of whether it has been check-in or not. When attempting to just use triggers, you may find that this doesn’t work exactly.

Firstly, under most orthodox considerations a build is not considered to be under a CI umbrella if it is not triggered by a check-in. However, to get around this issue you can use Check-ins do not trigger a new build as a trigger then use the inbuilt Window scheduler to call TFSBuild.exe while passing in the correct arguments with the /msBuildArguments switch. Batch it up, and you will be ready to rock and roll!
