I want to create a menu item in Visual Studio that will bring up a dialog that will allow users to enter certain parameters, like keywords etc. This should then return a grid/details view in the Visual Studio window. Exactly like running a query from the Team Explorer.

There is an item in the Team menu called "Go to work item..." where you enter the ID. This is basically the same functionality that I am looking for.

I can create a stand-alone app that I can run and query the TFS, and display the results that I want. I just want it as a plug-in to VS.

I have been searching for samples with no luck so far.

Thanks,

Luis
