Sorry about the unclear description. Here is the thing, I wish to build a desktop app, which can query bugs with a bug id directly from TFS, and if I choose to open it, then the app launch Visual Studio and open the bug in its original Bug editor UI, Is there any chance to do that?

Thanks for your reply again:)

What do you mean by "through Visual Studio IDE programatically"? You can look into creating a VS add-in for TFS.

This artical is great, it helped me a lot. I am building an automation testing software for our company, which including features to work with bugs in TFS.

BTW, Is there any way to view a Bug (type a bug ID) through Visual Studio IDE programatically? I have googled it, but no useable information found.

Thanks in advance.

Wow, awesome. Just like you, I am lazy too and will go through great lengths to make things easier. At my work, we monitor back end processes through our scheduling software Control-M. We are tasked to identify if a process is running longer than the average run time then escalate to find out if it is hanging. This is done by getting the start time, average run time through the software then identify if it is already hanging. I hate computing time on my head. On top of that, there is a lag between each operation you do in Control-M. That's why I wrote a Unix script to automate monitoring, calculating of long running jobs. Now all I do is stare at the monitor all day without lifting a finger. Invoking your Hubris. Your comment system pisses me off. I can't use the arrow keys nor copy paste. I had to manually type a URL!
