Can I configure a visual difference view with the notifications provided by TFS?
- by John Kaster
I have TFS sending me alerts whenever someone on my team checks in code. (I had to create notification rules for every project, but that's just a sidebar complaint in this question.)
These alerts provided some information on who checked in the files when, and what files have changed, with urls to view details in a browser. The thing that baffles me is that I can't just click on the source file and see a visual diff of the changes. There's no link that will auto-launch a diff in Visual Studio (using a custom protocol) from there either.
Is there a way to configure TFS to provide a visual diff of the changes to the file that was checked in via this notification UI?
