Question

I’m interesting with statistic and motivation of using task list in VS. Why are you use it or not? Some people i asked even want a tool, that can synchronize VS ToDo with Outlook. What do you think?

Answer 1

IMO you can use Todos for:

1. Remember that you must do something like “Todo: implement this interface”
2. To mark a line/block of code as instruction for another coder if your are code in a team like “Todo: you can use foo instead of bar because …”
3. If you review your code you can mark any code that he can be improved like “Todo: use Linq instead of foreach”

You can replace the default tasklist-window from visual studio with plugins:
