Queuing a Build for Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server
To run a build, you queue a build definition. By doing this, you add that build configuration to the queue of builds to be run by a specific build agent. The order in which builds are run depends on the order in which the build requests were queued. If you are using Visual Studio 2005, all builds must be manually queued.
Note
If you are using Visual Studio 2005, you cannot change the build agent or drop folder when you queue the build. You also cannot specify a priority for the build nor optional MSBuild command line arguments.
Required Permissions
To perform this procedure, your Queue builds permission must be set to Allow. For more information, see the following page on the Microsoft Web site: Team Foundation Server Permissions.
