user-defined actions: Filling a Combo/Listbox

hi,

i am currently evaluating Visual Build Pro and encountered a problem using user-defined actions. Since i am building my software in multiple languages i wrote a user-defined action to select a specific language resource to be built. I am using a database for storing all language resources; is there a possibilty to query the database and fill a dropdown box in a user-defined action? I guess it could be done, since this is what "Make VS.Net" obviously does (reading the .sln file, filling the configuration dropdown box). Right now i have all possible resource languages as <ListItem>'s inside the .action file. Querying a database would suit my needs better, but i can't see a way to do so.

thx for any help
regards

/andi
