Workflow TFS Custom Work Item Control

Now this is really cool! There is a really cool visualization when using Team System Web Access that shows the workflow of the work item that I thought would be really cool if we could have in the Team Explorer client inside Visual Studio. Well thankfully, Michel Perfetti (author of Fissum) just released a custom work item control that does exactly what TSWA does…

Remember, you can have different work item form layouts based on what client it is going to be loaded in so you could specify a layout for “WinForms” that would be the only one that would load this custom control. Check out Neno’s blog post about this topic for more information.
