Is there any way built-in to call the "Show Blame" page within VS.NET IDE? If not built-in, are there any macros or 3rd party plugins available?
Is there a way to make a call to Vault with a VS.NET Macro and use the existing repository/credentials for the loaded solution?
Thanks,

"Show Blame" within VS.NET ?

There are not currently any commands in Visual Studio that would allow you to call the Show Blame function.
This might be possible to do yourself, depending on the standard customization APIs Visual Studio makes available. Show Blame is a web client page, so you'd need to be able to get the file name, and somehow figure out the Vault path for it. The MSSCCPRJ.SCC file in the project folder contains the Vault project, so you might be able to concat that to the current filename. Once that is determined, a VS menu item could simply create the URL and open a browser to display it.
It is possible that there is information that is too difficult or impossible to get that would make this not feasible, but it might be worth looking into.
