tfs2010

I have installed TFS2010 Beta 2 with default settings and configured a CI build with a solution containing the indivial projects.

My *.cspoj files could have:

<OutputPath>bin\debug\</OutputPath>

Or alternatively:

<OutDir>bin\debug\</OutDir>

When the build server is done building and running tests etc. all the assemblies are placed in the root of the build drop off folder.

How do I configure the build to keep the outputpath or outdir in my projects and store the assemblies and content in the matching folder structure( builddropfolder\bin\debug\ )?

I have found a number of post on this most of them relates to TFS 2008 but I have not found solutions for TFS 2010.

Perhaps it is possible to solve this in the new workflow file for the buildserver?
