You can setup your builds to do SCM polling, which will, on a schedule you determine go look to see if there are changes in the SCM. If there are no changes, it won't build the project, if there are changes it will update the local copy and execute the build steps. You need to install a plugin for the SCM you are using for this to work, the wiki page for that plugin will have information on configuring it. For .NET builds you have a couple options: 1) install and use the msbuild plugin which adds a build step type that you can configure in your job to execute msbuild, 2) use the windows batch build step to launch msbuild or devenv yourself. I recommend option 1. Information in setting up the msbuild plugin fan be found on its wiki page.

Are there libraries somewhere with config.xml files that are specific to .Net builds that I can look at? I have been searching for Jenkins, should I be searching for Hudson examples also? If the build determines that there are no changes, and thus there is no reason to execute the remaining windows batch steps...how to do this? I am not asking anyone to do my work, but I am looking to be pointed in the right direction. Is there a Jenkins book that is specific to Windows\.net?
