Great CCNet applet!

I have been looking for something that will allow me to do a force build of one of my CruiseControl.Net projects after I reformat the build drive in the middle of the night.  This would cause a rebuild of my project after I do a force sync with perforce.

I was trolling the CruiseControl.Net blogs last night and I came upon a post by Craig Sutherland.  He has created an applet for CruiseControl.Net that will allow for forcing a build from the command line.  This is exactly what I have been looking for so his post was very timely for me.

Now after I do a format of the build drive in the middle of the night, I do a force sync with perforce and then force a build of the first project which causes a rebuild of my project. Done!

Thanks Craig!
