VS 2010 has a new feature that allows a developer to validate that their code change will merge and successfully build with the current code base on the server before ever checking it in. It’s called the gated Check-in.
How it works
Create a build type that uses Gated Check-in as it’s trigger for starting the build.
Take the code you want to check in and shelve it.
Then when you queue the build you can specify the Shelve set to be merged with the source from the server. You can also have the build complete your check in if the build is successful.
This should help to diminish the number of broken builds on the server.
