So, how long is your task list? Do you have a ton of TODO’s? Did you know you can use Visual Studio to track your TODO’s in a task list? All you have to do is mark each TODO as follows:

// TODO: this is an example of something I really need to do

If you do this you can see your TODO’s in Visual Studio Task List dialog, which you can always pull up with the following keyboard shortcut:

View Task List

Ctrl + \, Ctrl + T

Feedback:

If you have a favorite Visual Studio Tip or Trick be sure to share it in the comments. I’ll compile a list and post it for everyone once there are enough.

Too bad the "TODO" task list only works for documents that are open. This is one feature that VB.Net has that I wish C# had.

Great blog posts Chris.

Hi Ryan,

Good to hear from you, man.

Yeah, that is kind of dumb. You could do a "Find in Files" and then just search for TODO, or just use ReSharper add-in for Visual Studio: http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/.
