Create a monitor for the TFS 2008 build server

Question

We have about 6 TFS projects with our own builds, which we want to actively monitor. Ideally, he should show each of the lines along with his status: succeeded, partially succeeded, failed.

I don't need it to light up, instead I want a simple window as a Windows application or web page. I came across Build Monitor on codeplex , but it looks like it is only following twitter or some kind of light.

The built-in Build Explorer only shows assemblies for one TFS project, I need it to cross TFS projects.

Ultimately, this will be shown on a large monitor mounted on the wall in our Dev area.

Ideas?

Answer 1

The Team Build Screen Saver screensaver seems to be exactly what you are looking for:

Answer 2

Take a look at

http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/buildwallboard

for one implementation of a project that I made as an example of code for the conversations that I do when programming the Team Build API. Robert Aquila took this sample and then made him more material and worked on several projects here.
