How can I build my testproject together with my project (not in the same solution)?

Question

I have an LVT test project that I want to run when ever my main project is building. How can I make this happen in ms tfs 2010? The test project is not in the same solution as my main project.

It's not important because you can do this using MS Build by using command line of MSTest.exe and just pass the dll of the test

<Target Name="UnitTests" AfterTargets="DeployDatabase" Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'DebugForCheck-in'">
 <Message Importance="high" Text="--------------------------------  Running Unit Tests for category 1 only--------------------------------"  />

 <Message Importance="high" Text=" "/>

 <Exec Command='"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\mstest.exe" /testcontainer:"..\BLTest\bin\Debug\BLTest.dll" /category:cat1' />

 </Target>
