Visual Studio C# unit testing - report results for each run

Is there way to automate reporting of each test run?

Now I do this

[TestMethod]
public void Test1()
{
   ReportTestStarted("Test1");
   // do test like 
   Assert.IsTrue(true,"Fake good test");
   ReportTestFinshed("Test1");
}

with assumption that when test started it should be finished then it is good. ReportTest*() collects all results and then stores them somehow.

I hope that it is possible to use Attributes and update [TestMethod] so it will do such work automatically. Any ideas?

Update: Thanks for @Richard's and @Scott hints I had figured out that I can use this code and know result based on this link

        public TestContext TestContext { get; set; }
       [TestCleanup]
        public void CleanupTest()
        {
            Console.WriteLine(
                "TextContext.TestName='{0}' {1} ",
                TestContext.TestName,
(Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.UnitTestOutcome.Passed==TestContext.CurrentTestOutcome?"Pass":"Fail"));
        }

Thanks for comments I have my answer:

        public TestContext TestContext { get; set; }
       [TestCleanup]
        public void CleanupTest()
        {
            Console.WriteLine(
                "TextContext.TestName='{0}' {1} ",
                TestContext.TestName,
(Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.UnitTestOutcome.Passed==TestContext.CurrentTestOutcome?"Pass":"Fail"));
        }

It provides access to the test name and test result which I can use and store in any way. Most important - I do not have to touch my TestMethods. This approach collects and reports all result without adding extra lines of code to each TestMethod.
