Team Build Notification Polling Interval

A quick tip I keep meaning to post. The Visual Studio 2010 Team Foundation Build Notification is now part of the core product and not a power tool, but you may find that the you want to increase or decrease the polling interval so that your “toast” pops up at the right time. I like to do this on my machine as the default polling interval is 2mins 30 seconds, which can be a long time during a demo…

There is a registry setting that controls this, and you can find it under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\TeamFoundation\Build\BuildNotification\Subscriptions

Change the PollingInterval (I’ve set mine to 00:00:10 – good for demos but probably too frequent for real use) to whatever you want.

Cheers,
Giles
