Summary:

I wrote a few lines of code to detect if the application being put into 
the MSI has any new assemblies which haven't been added to the WiX code. 
This seems to work fine.

I'm trying to figure out how to get the WiX build to fail if  my 
detection algorithm indicates that the WiX code is no up to date. Can 
this extra check be hooked into the build somehow?

Details:

I have a VS2008 solution that revolves around building an MSI with WiX. 
It also includes building a bootstrapper.

I have some C# code that opens the WiX source files, extracts the source 
file names, and compares that list to the files produced by the 
application build. It determines whether there are new assemblies in the 
application's build directory which are not found in the WiX source 
file. My intention is for this algorithm to halt the build if it detects 
that the WiX code is out of date.

As it exists now, the few lines of code exist as a console application. 
I'm looking for suggestions on how to integrate this into the build, so 
perhaps it's more of a Visual Studio question than a WiX question.

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much!
