VSTS work item transition on Build

Question

I'm currently using Team Foundation Server 2008 as a source control and build engine. When I checkin some changes and associate the change with a work item the work item flow I've defined changed the status from active to ready for test. Unfortunately this is not accurate as it's not actually ready for test until a build is completed. Is there any way to make it so that a build can change the status of work items?

I don't think there is a custom task in MSBuild that allows you to update a work item. You could easily write one though. See this article:
