Distributed Pair Programming and Collaboration
wave-vs.net writing concurrently
wave-vs.net support Multiple Developers to join a Collaboration Session.

As you are working Real-Time with others, your development experience will be a bit different when a Collaboration Session is enabled.

For instance: "you are sharing the 'Undo Stack' with all Participants". What means if you 'Undo' something while other are writing, you have a change to 'Undo' others action and not your last action that is probably what you intentionally wanted.


You can find a list of this behavioral changes on next KB document:


wave-vs.net 'Orb'

When you are connect to a wave-vs.net Server an 'Orb' will be shown on all Visual Studio(tm) Supported Project Items Views (code, designer, component...) , as you can see on above Screenshot.

wave-vs.net Orb is a 'shortcut' for Common Actions, these Common Actions are also accesible from other points like wave-vs.net Main Menu or Solution Explorer/Project Items Contextual Menus.

Options Shown by Orb will depend on Project Item Sharing State as follows:
Project Item NOT Shared Menu State Propject Item Shared Menu State
wave-vs.net Orb detail, not in session wave-vs.net Orb detail, in session
How to start a Collaboration Session

Dialog to send invitations for other people to session If Project Item is not already 'Shared' you can point your mouse to 'Orb' to open wave-vs menu and just click 'Start!':

how to start a session

Before Session is Setup you must Select 'Who to invite' from your Team, you can choose between Online Team Members and also to Invite all People talking on a Conference Room.

(Also you can use Project Item Contextual Menu to begin a Session if you disabled 'Orb' to be shown on all open Document windows using Orb Enable/Disable option from wave-vs.net Toolbar)

There is other alternative to begin a Shared Session using Project Item Contextual Menu on Solution explorer:

wave_vs_net_project_item_contextual_menu


NOTE: You can select Multiple Project Items and/or Folders in Solution Explorer to Setup Multiple Wave Sessions in just one action, when all Items/Folders you want to Share are Select, in Solution Explorer, Right Click and choose 'Wave Selection to Multiple Contacts' option.
