Remote Pair Programming in Visual Studio [closed]

Does anyone know of a Visual Studio add-in that allows remote pair programming in Visual Studio?

Something along the lines of SubEthaEdit, where all users can edit the same document, live, in realtime.

A shared/remote desktop connection where multiple users are in control of the keyboard and mouse is a step in the right direction. However, this solution isn't as good as SubEthaEdit since by default the Visual Studio text editor won't be able to handle simultaneous edits.

How do I share a project code in Visual Studio?

If you select Start Collaboration session from the Session Details menu, an invitation link to your session will automatically be copied to your clipboard. You can share this link with anyone you'd like to collaborate with, as long as they also have VS Code and the Live Share Extension Pack downloaded.

Personally, having done a fair amount of remote pair programming recently, I prefer Join.me. We don't actually both use the keyboard/mouse at the same time, we commit and push changesets using source control and actually swop who is the host.

One of the handful of very popular VNC options would allow both parties to type and have control of the mouse (unlike SharedView, where you have to pass control back and forth), and goes well with Skype voip.

  • UltraVNC
  • RealVNC
  • TightVNC

VS Anywhere is what you need to do pair programming with Visual Studio

Skype could handle it. One of the tenets of pair programming is that only one person is at the keyboard and mouse, so all you really need is one-direction screen casting and voice chat.
