Task list for Visual Studio

Question

I often find myself in need of writing down a future Visual Studio solution improvement. Having them at hand while working on personal projects is very handy and accelerating.

Is there an extension (or maybe even a build-in feature) that would allow me to write down future changes to a list, and mark rows as "done" after implementation is finished?

Answer 1

Yes. You can use the "Task List" in Visual Studio:

Menu View → Task List

Also, in the code, you can use tokens in your comments, so Visual Studio can auto-populate your task list. Such as:

//TODO: xyz
//HACK: ABC

The predefined tokens can also be extended:

Visual Studio → menu Tools → Environment → Task List → Tokens
