Is there a 'scratch pad' window in Visual Studio

Question

I currently use notepad to store little notes to myself about my code. This is usually a mixture of code and requirements.

Is there a 'scratch pad' type window in VS where i could do this.

The other alternative is to use code comment blocks in the source files, but that's not quite what I'm looking for.

Answer 1

Try the sticky notes add in

On "Solution Level" you can add files (text, html or code) to act as notes files.

Also in projects, you can add files, and set the Build Action to None.
