All,

Is there a tool available in the MSDN that will allow two programmers to see
and work on code together from two workstations that are in different
physical locations.

Thanks

George,

I don't know if there is a tool out there per-se, but if you want one
programmer to see the code another programmer is doing, you might want to
set up a Remote Desktop Connection, or use something like VNC to control
another machine by remote control. I know that VNC will allow both to have
control of a machine at the same time.

Granted, it's not viewing the code in your own machine, but it might be
good enough for your needs.

Hope this helps.
 
To answer to such a question, I think we need to know more about your
particular environment.
What is the bandwith you have available?
Do you have a permanent connection?
Do you have a VPN between the 2 sites?

In a previous project I worked for, we established a VPN and used
Sourceoffsite product on top of VSS. This worked really good.
