I've been asked to set up yet another CruiceControl environment for yet another client. I realized that I've been using CC for years without really looking around for competitors. Is there anything else that's sprung up that does the job equally well or better for .Net apps?

TeamCity is a very good CI server. (and the "Professional" edition is free)

I've been using it for over a year for building .NET projects, and I must say it's way better than CC.NET IMHO.

Strong points are:

  • Very easy to configure (web based GUI)
  • Distributed system (you can have several build agents on multiple machines to distribute the build process)
  • Built-in support for many source control systems
  • ... check the website. The product is awesome ...
