How do I make a TeamCity build appear in the TFS Build Explorer?

Question

We are using TFS 2010 for source control and project management, and TeamCity 6.0 for performing builds and build reporting (CI and daily deployments for testers). Setting up TFS source labeling in TeamCity to match the build number was very straightforward, but I cannot find a way to link this back to TFS Build Explorer.

We want link these to be able to assign bugs to particular builds through TFS for the daily tester deployment builds.

I don't know if you can, at least without some heavy VSX work or direct manipulation of the database, get the TeamCity builds to show up in the TFS Build Explorer.

However, the "Found in Build:" drop down on in the bug workitem is a populated by a global list which you can add to pro grammatically using http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/shair/archive/2010/03/08/tfs-api-part-23-create-global-list-xml-way.aspx .
