The previous state of the same line appears with pink background and the state as changed by Arun appears with yellow background. When he selects the file from that shelveset, he can see two lines for the changed line of code. Subodh can also view the shelveset that contains the Form1.cs file.
#Code review visual studio code code#
He clicks on that node to expand and views details of that code review request. When developer Subodh opens My Work page in team explorer on his computer, he can see that submitted work item (Code Review Request) appearing under the Code Reviews and Requests node. While saving the work item, the code that was changed (Form1.cs) is shelved and a reference to that is added to the work item.Īrun can view that submitted code review request under My Work page in the Team Explorer on his computer. He also provides a title of the work item and Submits the Code Review. He assigns that work item to another developer named Subodh from the same team.

In Team Explorer under Pending Changes, he finds an option to Request Review.Īrun selects that option (Request Review) that opens the form to create a new Code Review Request work item. Let us take a case a where a developer named Arun has modified a line of code and now seeks to check-in the code.īefore he does the check-in, it is desirable that he gets the code reviewed by a peer or a senior developer in the team. Note: VS 11 / TFS 11 are only code names of the Visual Studio / Team Foundation Server planned to be released in near future and not the final brand names/ They have built in tools that integrate in Team Explorer and provide a special UI to manipulate data and state of those work items. Response is a pair of work items like those. There are a some new work items types that can be accessed using those tools only and not directly in their form in Visual Studio. One major change in approach that Microsoft provides in VS 11 /TFS 11 is the default tools built-in along with work items. With TFS 11, we will not need to do some parts of this customization since Microsoft has also provided these parts built-in. Till TFS 2010, we used to implement code review workflow with the custom work item, custom check-in policy and a server side event handler.


In this article I am going to take an overview of the code review feature which is one of the new standard features. There are many new features that Microsoft intends to introduce in VS11 / TFS 11.
