Developing/Customising [Go to work item] like webpart for TFS SharePoint Portal
We used to use TFS 2008 for our version control and various SharePoint WSS Lists to manage issues and bugs in our projects.

We recently moved to TFS 2010 and now want to utilise SharePoint integration features and issue/work item management that is available in TFS 2010.

In order to do that, I have to migrate all issues and bugs from our old SharePoint WSS Lists in to our TFS 2010 collection as work items. However, during transition, our team members still need to look at existing issues which were migrated from old WSS Lists. 

In order to do that, I have added a custom "WSS ID" field in our work items which is only read-only but will show Issue number from Old WSS List. 

Now, as users will be using our SharePoint portal, I want to develop a webpart, where they can type in old WSS Issue Number in order to find that issue in our new TFS 2010 as work item.

I want to have a webpart like [Go to Work item] webpart that comes in started with TFS SharePoint Portal as shown at my post here [Go to work item webpart image][1]:


How can I create a webpart like this that will search on a custom field called "WSS ID" and open up a work item if a match found or just provide a message that no match found?

Thanks,

Ujjaval
