I've recently upgraded to Visual Studio 2012 and haven't have any problems except for the fact that comments beginning with "//todo" no longer show up in the task list. I have absolutely no idea on where to start looking for a solution to this problem as all of the keywords are too general.
I came across other similar questions where the answer was that the file wasn't open containing the //todo comment, but that is not the case for me. My todo comments do not show up even when the file is open in front of me.
From within Visual Studio Go to View -> Task List. This will display the Task List window and show you any area of your open Solution that has existing comments that start with // TODO .
By default, Visual Studio includes the following tokens: HACK , TODO , UNDONE , and UnresolvedMergeConflict . They are not case-sensitive. You can also create your own custom tokens.
Actually there is a dropdown control at the top of the "Task List" window and if you use the Visual Studio 2012 Dark Theme the dropdown looks like a label. If you click the "User Tasks" text, you will see "Comments" selection which lists your comments that contain "//todo".
