Introduction
TFS Build Inspector adds a tool window to the Visual Studio 2010 Team Explorer for monitoring the status of build definitions and also for classifying the builds based on "code line" and other extended attributes like "Edition" or "platform" using a naming convention for build definitions.
Name, codeline, edition, platform, or any classification attribute are created based on separators in the build definition name. The default separator is the punctuation mark (.). user cannot change this separator in version 1.0

Build definitions Naming Convention
As mentioned above this works by having the names of your build definitions following a convention.
Start a build definition name using the Solution to build, then continue with codeline finally end it with the type of build.
Example: MyBuild, for two codeline Rls1 and Rls2 of type Standard and Professional
MyBuild.R1.Standard
MyBuild.R1.Professional
MyBuild.R2.Standard
MyBuild.R2.Professional
