Building VS2008 solution using MSBuild 2010?

Question

Is it possible to build a VS2008 solution (C# and VC++ projects) using the automated MSBuild built into TFS2010? When I niavely just run it, the build fails because the 2008 Solution file needs to be upgraded (and presumably so would the project files). Can I tell MSBuild 2010 to just build the 2008 files?

Does this blog post happen to work out for you? There are several ways you can get it working but just depends on your particular setup.
