    The Visual Studio addin is available in v6.0, and is no longer in beta. The current integration is only through the Solution Explorer. This feature is now closed. We will most likely be providing future integrations with source control plugins for Visual Studio, and these should be submitted as separate UserVoice requests.

        I created a plugin that does exactly what my last comment suggested and it took about 1 hour of development. This is definitely something that should be added to make the 'addin' a valuable tool.

        This plugin needs major work for integrating with Visual Studio with TFS. Since code reviews are generally made up of multiple check-ins, the plugin doesn't add a whole lot of value. Instead, I suggest the following: Right click a folder or file in Source Control Explorer and view history. From that view, you should be able to select multiple changesets and right click and add to a review.

        Note that conducting a code review in Collaborator (creating comments and defects, tying these to the number and content of a LOC, tracking comments across LOC changes in rework, etc.) requires a fairly extensive integration with the diff viewer - requiring externalized function most diff viewers don't even provide. v6.0 will be introducing this kind of integration in Eclipse, but the work effort to do this within the Studio editor (and to handle local changes within the editor after the review begins) isn't currently feasible for us. Initially, our add-in will provide buttons in the Solution Explorer context menus for creating reviews, and from there launch a browser session to the review.

        A great feature would be to make a review from inside Visual Studio. (Maybe on code checkin.)

        An additional feature would be to have a context menu with in VS that would allow users to right click and add a file(s) to a new/existing review

        For new files (e.g. C# class, asp.net) in a VS solution it is cleaner to review the file in it's entirety from within VS so that you get a clean colour coded screen. With this in mind my view of a VS plugin/adding would be to review the file in VS, the addin would provide context menus that would allow you to add a comment/defect and have this submitted through to the appropiate review within CC
