Automatically Shelve Changes with VS 2010 and TFS

Question

I am using Visual Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server.

I was wondering if there is a way to automatically shelve the pending changes in my solution at a pre-scheduled time.

For example, I could have it run at 10:00pm everyday and always add the current date to the shelveset name. Something like "MyShelveset_02-11-2010".

Thanks, Seth

All TFS actions can be ran from the command line, including the Shelve command.

This is very useful in your case since you can use it to script something and make it run automatically (with a scheduled task for example).
