It is 2 years ago now at my former employer, we made it work. I remember
you had to have the VS Professional installed on the CruiseControl
server. We used a simple exec-task to build it. Take a DOS box and
figure out which command from within your VC installation to run on
your .dsw file (build.exe, msbuild.exe, vcbuild.exe or similar).
We tried to make the free edition of VS work, but it was almost
impossible to find the right environment variables and paths between the
various projects.

Yes :-(

build.xml is for Ant. I only use Ant for Java stuff (and I still think
it is inadequate even for that). For anything else I use shell scripts
and make. I know the output isn't XML and therefore it is much harder to
read the log output from CruiseControl, but I can build any project,
which can be build from the command line.
