How can I programmatically checkin code in TFS with policy override?

I'm trying to checkin code from a c# program in a part of TFS repository which will trigger a gated checkin build and also a continuous integration build.
This is my code so far:

    public static void Checkin(string path, string comment)
    {
        var wsInfo = Workstation.Current.GetLocalWorkspaceInfo(path);
        var tfs = TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(wsInfo.ServerUri);
        tfs.Connect(ConnectOptions.None);   

        var vcs = tfs.GetService<VersionControlServer>();
        var ws = vcs.GetWorkspace(path);

        var fullPath = Path.GetFullPath(path);
        var change = ws.GetPendingChangesEnumerable().Where(p => p.LocalItem == fullPath).ToArray();

        ws.CheckIn(change.ToArray(), comment);

        tfs.Dispose();
    }

what is basically happening is that I get a GatedCheckinException say that there is an affected build defintion. I would like to do the checkin with the commonly known bypass to avoid triggering the gated checkin. I've been struggling with the altenate Checkin functions without success.

Any idea?

UPDATE: Thanks Aghilas Yakoub for the link. For completeness, here is the code to do the checkin with override that worked for me:

var wip = new WorkspaceCheckInParameters(change, comment)
{
    OverrideGatedCheckIn = ((CheckInOptions2)vcs.SupportedFeatures & CheckInOptions2.OverrideGatedCheckIn) == CheckInOptions2.OverrideGatedCheckIn,
    PolicyOverride = new PolicyOverrideInfo("Check-in from the build.", null)
};

ws.CheckIn(wip);
