Tasklist replacement for Visual Studio

Question

I would like to use the task-list in Visual Studio but it really lacks almost any useful feature a task-list should provide. So I use Todo-List externally, to keep track of the things I need to get done. Would be nice to have it all in one place.

So does anyone know of a cool replacement Add-On for the tasklist in Visual Studio?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Assumed: Visual Studio 2008 + ReSharper

ReSharper->Windows->ToDo Explorer

E-

Answer 2

For semi-immediate programming tasks I use TODO comments in code and ReSharper for Visual Studio to view them.

For longer-term tasks I use Team Foundation Server to record work items.

For non-programming tasks I use Google Calendar.

You can modify the task list in Visual Studio by clicking TOOLS --> OPTIONS --> ENVIRONMENT --> TASK LIST

In the Token List you can add more tokens specific to what you want to call your tasks.

For example.. I have an EDITING token set up so in any module, class or method that I'm working on I just add the ' EDITING: (Name of whatever method ect..) comment and I can quickly see where I left off and get back too it by double clicking.

Here are a few other tokens I find useful...
