TFS 2010 Automated Build Server

Question

I'm looking to create an automatic build server which runs either when the developer check in changes to a solution or a certain time frame is reached (say 24 hours).

I've looked around, and from what I understand - VS2010 has a different CI to older version, and as such, I can't find much information regarding such a process.

Both of your suggested options are built into the Build definition in TFS 2010.

Go to: TFS Explorer->Builds->New Build Definition->Trigger
