Mylyn is a task oriented plugin that allows for example to assign a set of files to a task. Is there a Mylyn type plugin for Visual Studio?

Tasktop has just announced that it is bringing the productivity of Mylyn into Visual Studio! The beta version that is being released will support bringing tasks from HP ALM, Quality Center, and Bugzilla. It includes Mylyn's Task List and Task Editor. The next level of support, which will include compatibility with all existing Mylyn connectors, will be delivered after this beta. Further down the road Tasktop will also be delivering context capture and focus within the Visual Studio IDE.

The beta release will be happening end of November 2010.

See the recent blog post for more details.

I gather you're an experienced Mylyn user, sorry for giving you information you already knew! You're right, there is currently no schedule for porting Mylyn to VS. I will update this entry if I hear of any updates to this plan. – Katykatya 17/8, 2010 at 15:38

Maybe not an experienced user. Definitely a great fan though and as I work in VS most of the time those days I'm missing its functionality a lot – Oxyhydrogen 25/9, 2010 at 21:53

@David: could you keep this post updated? I'm looking forward to the full version :) We are using version one at work. BTW you are pointing to this question in your announcement. Can it result in a free licence? :] – Oxyhydrogen 25/1, 2011 at 10:5

FYI, the GA of Tasktop for Visual Studio is out! tasktop.com/products/visual-studio – Katykatya 25/3, 2011 at 16:35

The closest I've found is Tasktop, by the people that created Mylyn, but it's a standalone application that doesn't integrate with Visual Studio.

(Resharper is irrelevant).

Not even close to mylyn, but here is an open source addin for visual studio that helps to assign a list of source files to a "session" (you could think of the session as a "task")

i'm not aware of anything open source but i do know that team system is setup to support this type of workflow.

resharper might also have features you are looking for but, again, not foss

I asked that question to the VS.NET Development team in Teched 2008.

She said that they've notice about Mylyn, but are still looking on it. Task focusing plugin is not yet ready in VS.NET environment.

I'll second tasktop. The newest version especially looks nice. Like orip said, it doesn't provide VS integration, but there's a Firefox extension which should be pretty nice... beats using Eclipse purely for Mylyn.

I've recently released (commercial) Task Canvas extension for Visual Studio 2015 that supports tasks with assigned sets of documents and code fragments.
