How to 'host' a Work Item inside a WinForms application?

Question

Good evening,

I've come across a couple applications in the past that run outside VS2010 (or MTM) but display TFS Work Items 100% as they are shown in VS2010 as if there was a way to get the WorkItem including all its controls as a complete 'control' and place it inside my own application.

Does anyone know how to do that? I am currently trying to remember where I saw that, but maybe someone knows what I am talking about and can point me in the right direction TFS client api wise.

Thanks and all the best,

-Jörg

Check out the sources of Fissum. It's an open source windows forms app that hosts the Work item UI :).
