How can I easily diff/compare 2 shelvesets in TFS?

Question

Is there a way to compare 2 shelves in TFS without having to resort to unshelving both in separate workspaces and diffing the files?

Answer 1

I was looking for the same i.e. to compare the contents of two shelveets without needing to unshelve one of them. End up writing a Visual Studio extension for the functionality.

The extension is available for Visual studio 2013

and for Visual studio 2012
