How to execute tfs 'Get Latest Version' programmatically in a custom build definition

Question

Hi,

I need to get the latest sources from TFS to a predefined directory (and than make a package of those clean, fresh sources). I want that operation to be a part of a custom build definition. Any clues how to achieve that? Some codeactivity samples perhaps?

Any help appreciated :)

You can use the DownloadFiles Activity that comes out of the box.
