Is there a tool for TFS which quickly view the author of one line code?

Question

I'm working with a team and have to read to understand their codes. I want to know the author of a certain line of code but at the moment, I'm not sure how to do it quickly except I have to browse the history for that - which is very time-consuming.

Do you have any addon/tips for me? Thank you.

Answer 1

In the solution explorer find the file then right click "Annotate".

See the MSDN documentation on the command.

The command will go through the history of the file and will show who changed what line and when, on the sidebar.
