looking for a good code review tool that plugs in nicely to Visual Studio. Would be nice if it could diff from different source control providers, like Source Safe, The Vault, and/or Subversion.
A:
some checklist should be maintained which could be used for code review.Its use for C# and ASP.net projects.

I want a tool like Review Board that gives me ways of critiquing code, but want it to plugin to VS and get the diffs from source control.

One way I am aware of, which only works if you use TFS, is to shelve your pending changes, send the name of your shelveset to your peers and ask for a code review... unfortunately, in addition to it's very minimalistic functionality, it is awkward to use.

I have used code collaborator in the past. It is not integrated with Visual Studio but I would not let that stop you.
All our Windows developers had no problem using it and since the reviews is done online, you are not using the IDE during the review.
Hope this helps.

Also Code Collaborator supports all three version control systems you mentioned.

If you were looking for only TFS support I would recommend my own: TeamReview.
However, checkout the new project Malevich, a spin off of Google's Mondrian to see if it supports your multiple source control systems.

I have tried many of the available code review tools, including any that have ties into Visual Studio and/or TFS. Code Collaborator is far-and-away the best one out there. It's not perfect, but there are really no alternatives that I've found that come close.
