That's a shame really because you would find CruiseControl.NET to be
extemely useful in your development.

CruiseControl is a continuous build engine. You can set it up so every time
someone commits a change to the Subversion repository, it automatically
builds (and tests, if you wrote NUnit tests:
http://www.nunit.org/index.phpfor your project). A continuous build
tool essential for any development
environment.

Take a look at CruiseControl.NET (
http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/Welcome+to+CruiseControl.NET)
and Nant (A build script language for .NET projects based upon Ant:
http://nant.sourceforge.net/).

By the way, both CruiseControl and Nant have specific methods for includng
the Subversion revision ID into the assembly. You can also include
CruiseControl's own build number if you so desire.

If you find CruiseControl to complex to setup (it is very complex), you can
try Hudson (https://hudson.dev.java.net/). Hudson is much easier to setup,
but it was not specifically made for a .NET environment like
CruiseControl.NET was.

You should not be "pushing the build button" for official builds. You should
not be doing any manual steps in order to produce your builds. That's not
only error prone, but makes the build process totally dependent upon you.
Official builds should take place on a server specifically designed for that
purpose and should be 100% automated.
