Performing Build when Shadow Folders are Updated

Does anyone have any information on how to invoke a script (e.g. a BAT file) to perform a command line rebuild of a .NET solution when the contents of the shadow folder changes?

I'm still digging for an answer here. This may go into tomorrow before an answer is posted.

It looks like the best idea would be to consider configuring Vault with CC.NET.

To go down the path of the original idea, you need to identify which project (C#, VB.NET, etc.), and then launch the correct compiler (csc.exe, vbc.exe, etc.) However, you would then need to write something that watches the disks to determine when files have changed.

I was hoping that someone would already have invented this wheel, but thanks for digging into this for me.

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but if you want to kick off a build on a repository change, then someone has. CC.NET w/ Vault integration does just that.
