TFS2010: Fast way to determine user, who edited "this function" or "this line of code"?

we use TFS controlled source. Are there a fast way to determine the history of a function I'm currently in - like anwsering "who edited this function?" or "who edited this line of code?". I know, that I can open source control for the current file and browse the history to find a changeset, where the lines of code / the function I'm interested in were edited.

But I'm looking for an easier way ... may be any addons for Visual Studio 2010?

Thanks, Konrad

You can use the annotate option.

This is available from most of the Source Control options in TFS. I normally invoke it from the Source Code context menu of the Code Editor windows, but it's also in:

  • Source Control Explorer context menu for Files.
  • "Source Control - Team Foundation Server" toobar.
  • "File" -> "Source Control" menu.

The Annotation will show which changeset is responsible for each line/block of code. You can see which user checked in a changeset. Sometimes you have to filter the changeset range if the file has been merged by an innocent person.

As DaveShaw says. Right-click on the line you're interested in, select the last option 'Source Control' and choose 'Annotate'.

This will give you a list of who made edits and when in the file, down the left-hand side of the code-editor pane.
