Is there an extension to VS2010 that will keep track of total hours spent on a project? So a developer can see how much time he has contributed into a development of a particular solution.

    Define contribution. (Insert big cheesy grin here) – Tony Hopkinson Jan 12 '12 at 22:45
  • A developer would think this through. But my guess - time of opened Visual Studio (and also app being debugged from within it) instance, with the target project loaded. When the VS main windows is minimized, or goes into background, a count-up pauses. This would ofcause exclude the time of research, but nevertheless. – Maxim V. Pavlov Jan 12 '12 at 22:52
  • You could get some numbers no doubt, How they'd relate to contribution is a dubious proposition at best. Aside from detecting 'something' is happening, whether that's the right something is another ball game. Entire proposition is flawed as far as I can see. – Tony Hopkinson Jan 13 '12 at 15:16
  • Thanks for the opinion, Tony. Just not I've been reading a post on developer interviews, where a simple tasks of writing a solution fast were discussed. I decided to try myself. Well, the solution was there, but again, if I had a counter built into the VS, as I described, I would know exactly, how long did it take me to solve the task. – Maxim V. Pavlov Jan 13 '12 at 16:04
  • Oh one of those. I'ma tortoise type myself... – Tony Hopkinson Jan 16 '12 at 00:52
