How to make Visual Studio take automatic actions on check-in?

Question

I'd like Visual Studio 2008 to do a get latest on the solution when I'm checking in, compile the code, run my tests, and if any of these fail, abort check-in.

Is it possible to do it, and how?

edit: We are using TFS for source control and nunit for testing.

Answer 1

Visual Studio offers a customizable platform, so you can make plug-ins etc. which handles whatever additional stuff you want to do as part of your check in.

Have a look at the Visual Studio SDK and the Team Foundation SDK.
