Ajay,

I have a couple of question to clarify:

Is the report generated from Team Explorer-> create report in Excel, or generated from Report Builder etc?

I'm a little confused by "close the report, close the test case", can you elaborate with it?

thanks and regards,

Hi Ajay,

There is not an option for this out of the box.  You would need to look for that event with a notification, send it to a web service, and have it do the status change.

I do this with the web service that used to ship with Scrum for team system which is now open source.  (http://scrumforteamsystem.codeplex.com/)  I then use a custom transform to capture the behavior and then subscribe projects to that service.

Of corse you can roll your own if you want too.

NB: This only works for TFS 2010.
