BugNet Task Pane is an open source (GPL) add-in for Visual Studio that allows the developer to view items from a BugNet installation directly within the IDE.

Current:

• Consumes the RSS feed from the BugDetails page which can be filtered by assignee and project.
• Task list is sortable by each column.

Planned:

• Support for VS 2005.
• Support for more columns.
• Track time spent on work items and send time reports back to BugNet. (BugNet 0.8)

• Current version only works with VS 2008 Standard and above.
• Current version is limited to only 4 columns since it uses rss as a data source.

Download the latest .msi from SourceForge and install. The installer will configure VS accordingly.

Once installed BugNet Task Pane will add a command to the context menu for the project as well as a new view in the task window. Simply right click on the project you want to configure and select the "Configure BugNet" command to show the configuration screen. From this screen you can input the rss url and windows authentication information if needed.
