 Here are a of the things I look forward to in 2008:
 
 - Of course - becoming a father. No - nothing yet. But soon!
-- Recording a CD with my band, the Vasa Band. The band has been
-  working so hard for a long time now. It will be great to record it
-  for real.
-  Also I will be playing a solo on the CD which is a first for me. I
-  will be playing my favorite solo in the Salvation Army literature
-  "Journey into peace" by William Himes. That will also be great
-- Becoming a Sergent Major at the Vasa Corps. For the first time i
-  really feel that a role suites me.
-- Rebuilding the Vasa Corps - from 28/12 2007 it's in progress. We are
-  now rebuilding the corps. YEEES - it took about five years to come

+2. Include the RidoTask.dll in your solution or reachable on the server where the tests are run. I've included the dll in a solution folder in my solution, called SolutionItems\Tools
 3. Reference the msbuild task in your build file (.proj)
-    \<usingtask
-    assemblyfile="$(SolutionRoot)\SolutionItems\Tools\RidoTasks.dll"
-    taskname="RidoTasks.trx2html"\>
+

 4. Convert the trx into html after TFS has dropped the results
-    \<target name="AfterDropBuild"\>
-    \<calltarget targets="CreateTRXReports"\>
-    \</target\>
-
-   \<target name="CreateTRXReports"\>
-    \<createitem

-    \<output itemname="trxfiles" taskparameter="Include"\>

+      </createItem>
+      <ridotasks.trx2html filename="%(trxfiles.Identity)">
+    </target>
+    ```
+
 5. Inform your project where to find your latest reports, which is the
     same directory as the testresult itself
-   \<Exec Command="xcopy
-    "$(DropLocation)\\$(BuildNumber)\TestResults\\*.htm"
-    "$(TestResultReportPath)" /Q /H /R /Y" /\>
+
+    ```xml

+    />

 That's an easy way to keep everyone informed
