integrate dotCover with TFS

Question

Is there a tutorial somehwere or can somebody explain how to integrate dotCover with TFS? I want to run dotCover (probably the console runner?) as part of the team build process and would like to generate a report that is integrated in the TFS build report.

Running dotCover itself will be easy enough. Simply add an InvokeProcess activity to the build workflow and call the appropriate command line options. I've got a blog post showing how this is done (calling the VB6 compiler in my example) but it should show you what you need to do.

The hard part will be integrating a report into the TFS build report. All you'll really be able to do is slightly customise the log - see Ewald Hoffmans blog post (and series) on customising the build if you want to do this.
