TFS Build Script Tracing

Question

When debugging a build script, is it possible to get TFS to use a build script that is currently checked out?

For example, I currently have a build script that I'm trying to debug, but in order to add a line of trace, I need to book out the TFSBuild.proj, change it, and then book it back in.

In order to let the build server use the modified script, you need to check it in. But you can also consider to do a desktop build, which starts the build on your local system: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181723(VS.80).aspx
