Share a link to a location in code (source file / line number) in Visual Studio

Question

I\'m looking for a plugin (may be a TFS plugin) for Visual Studio 2010 that add a \'Copy uri\' context menu entry in code editor and would make possible to copy paste a file

Answer 1

There's no such extension that exist from what I know.

However it wouldn't that hard to create a VSX that adds an entry in the Source Code context menu that will get the Source Control path from the Local Path using the TFS Api then putting the result in the clipboard.

In the meantime there's no easy way to come up with a workaround as I'm not aware of a way to get the Source Control path from the Local path in Visual Studio.

Answer 2

I wrote an extension for this. It's called CodeLink:

I'm looking for testers and feedback. I only have so many solutions with which to test it :)

Answer 3

Its not a plugin, but you can now add a line parameter (eg &line=1234) to a TFS file browser url, and then email that link to a colleague, it will open the file in a browser with the specified line highlighted.
