Creating custom build activities for TFS 2010

I am sure you have all wanted to do something during an automated build that the out the box solution does not do. In the past you might have written custom MSBuild task. The TFS 2010 build system is now based on WF4, not just MSBuild. This means that all those custom task you wrote for your old build process will need a bit of work get the features your want.

In this session I will show the options you have to integrate your own custom activities into the 2TFS 010 build process including using your old MSBuild tasks all the way to writing your own new WF custom build activity from scratch. Or in other words a descent into the hell of one of the most arcane development processes I have every some across.
