Have you ever wanted to create a cross-product of two item groups in TeamBuild? Aaron Hallberg has a post in which he explains two possible ways of doing it.

Sandcastle Visual Studio Project
Final update Sorry, I’m not able to figure out what’s wrong with this, and since Frank has a better solution for Visual Studio integration, I’m cancelling this attempt.
