Jeff Atwood has a nice post on how to get Team Build to put the build number in the assemblies it builds. Adding the Build Number to your Team Build binaries If you're using Team Build, you may want to "tag" the binaries produced with the name of the build.

Earlier, I mentioned Jeff Atwood's continuous integration approach. Here are a couple more approaches.Sondre Bjellås has decided to write his own continuous integration system for Team Build back in May (Making a Team System Automation Framework). It is called Automaton, and it's available on CodePlex. Automaton is a Continuous ...
