TODO comments in Vs 2008 service pack 1

Tuesday, July 29, 2008

I have been using TODO comments in visual studio since vs 2003. It helps me keep track of all the items that I eventually want to get to but don't have the time to do it on time to meet my release date. You can access the todo list from the view menu and clicking Task List. One of problems I had in the past with todo list was, it only showed todo tasks for files that are opened in visual studio. In a big project, it is not feasible to open all the files to see all the the todo tasks for the entire solution. In vs 2008 service pack 1, C# IDE team finally got around to fixing this issue. Now you get todo list for all the todo tasks in your solution regardless if the file is open or not.

In resharper you have the Todo-explorer. This shows all the todo's for your entire solution.

Has been a life saver in the past, but it's good VS2008 comes with out of the box support for this.

I always use #warning . This guarantees that they show up on every build and should be done before release.

So, when is this SP1 going to be released?

Are you sure about this info?
Because I've downloaded and installed VS SP 1 and it didn't work...
or maybe I can't find it
