safe commit with continuous integration
whenever i have a major change in our projects (e.g. add, remove, rename files), i always try to check if i've broken something by running a nant build locally.  everybody here is monitoring our build server and it is a bad impression to break something and hear bart simpson screaming.  

and the painful thing is, i always have to close visual studio since it is locking some of the dll's that some of my tasks will be using.

truth is, you really have to be able to successfully build your local copy before you do any commit, or you risk having a broken build later. :)

is there any NAnt plugin available for VS.NET?

really?  we're only using unit tests for nant (we're not using fxcop, etc.) so running the test suite should suffice to say that it's not broken if it's just the code that is modified.  

building locally takes time and small change commits is what we prefer so lag time increases exponentially if we do a local build everytime we check in.
