An alternative to the combo box

While developing the web application for tour operators @ syneity, we felt the need to move off from the combo box to something better. So here we will be designing the mockup for the same. We have identified the following states for this control.

Sl. State Details
1 Initial No data is selected
2 Typing Data is being entered into the control
3 Selected An item is selected from the search result
4 Add User needs to enter a new value, one that is not there in the search result

Automating the build process

With the release of our Software for tour operators and the purchase of the same by a few operators, we felt the need to automate our release process. Our requirements in a nut shell:

“Take the latest version from our SVN repository, build it, run the scripts on the database and upload the build output to the website”

Nice, but then how do we do this??

That is what i am looking for….. will update with my findings..
