Task List comments in Visual Studio

Here’s a quick Visual Studio tip. You can embed useful notes and reminders in code using Task List comments like this:

// TODO: fix catastrophic memory leak

These notes will automatically appear in the Visual Studio Task List, which you can open with the shortcut Ctrl+W, T or by selecting View – Task List from the main menu bar.

Visual Studio also supports two other comment tokens, HACK and UNDONE. You can even add your own custom comment tokens in:

Options – Environment – Task List.
