Configure TFS 2012 to Build All Solutions Under Directory

To prevent unexpected build breaks and test failures, We have been using gated check ins. This works very well for our core solutions, and has helped improve our quality.

As part of our overall architecture, we have a certain section of our code with many micro-services, each of which is a new solution. New solutions are added to this part of the code base regularly. These are important parts of the system, and I need to make sure they get compiled as part of a gated check in without the chance for developer error.

Is there a way to configure TFS to find ALL solutions under a certain path and include them in a gated check in build?

Thanks

TFS 2015 vNext builds allow wild cards to search for all solutions. I haven't had success getting this to work with Visual Studio build steps, which you would need, but it works well with NuGet Installer and other build steps. We will not see gated builds in vNext builds until we get update 2 see TFS feature timeline

Not without modifying the build process template, which is almost never a good idea. The new build system in TFS2015 does allow that, however.
