TFS 2010 Invoke built-in activity from custom CodeActivity

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to invoke a built-in activity from my custom CodeActivity for the TFS2010 Build Process.

I've got my own CodeActivity which generates a batch file and I want to invoke the InvokeProcess activity (built-in) to execute that generated file.

Of course I could split it into two activities, but it would be nicer if I could put these actions together. Can somebody push me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

I've solved it by splitting it into two activities. Generation of the file (now XML file) is done by a custom activity.

If this activity completes, the InvokeProcess activity is called.
