In TFS When I CHeck In a Backlog Item how do i make it change its state to done

Question

I don't want to use only Tasks in TFS Some times a Bug or a backlog Item are so small that there is no need to create tasks underneath it. HOw do i automatically make it Mark the Item as done in tfs when i check it in.

There is no way for me to make it relative in this case. Because it is a backlog Item as opposed to a Task.

Does anyone have a way to make this work?

If you use visual studio to checkin then it asks for a comment and a work item to associate with the checkin. There is a area where you can provide the state of workitem as Resolve or Associate after this checkin happens you can put the state to resolve it would mark the item as done.
