Code Review in Visual Studio 2012, with TFS 2010

Question

Is it possible to enable Code Review in VS2012 with a TFS2010 server?

Our should we upgrade our TFS server to TFS2012 before its possible?

Answer 1

You need TFS 2012 to use Code Reviews:

This feature is only available when running with VS2012 + TFS 2012. If you connect to a 2010 TFS server with VS 2012 the code review feature should not show up in the team explorer.

Answer 2

If you are not going to upgrade TFS from 2010 to 2012 in the near future, there is another option.

You may try Review Assistant by Devart - an alternative code review plugin for Visual Studio.

It has functionality similar to the built-in VS 2012 code review feature. But it supports integration with TFS 2010 as well as with Git, SVN, and Mercurial.
