visual studio .net ide : ToDo items not showing up in Task List panel

I love the feature of vs.net that allows me to embed "to do" items in
comments...
// ToDo - remove the following lines of code when debugging is complete.

....but suddenly it doesn't work. I must have flipped a switch somewhere
accidentally. No "ToDo" items are showing up in the "Task List" panel even
though many of them seemingly should.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for posting in the community.

Do you mean the "ToDo" phase or the "TODO" phase?
I think they are deffent, the IDE only recognized "TODO", if you want to
add a comment "ToDo" hyperlink to the Task List window, just do the
following:

1.On the Tools menu, choose Options.
2.Choose Environment, and then choose Task List.
3.In the Comment tokens area, choose an existed Token, type the "ToDo" for
your custom token.
4.From the Priority list, choose Normal, Low, or High.
5.Click Add, and then choose OK.

BTW, I suggest you can check the "All" option of the View/Show Tasks, and
sometimes the IDE will list some of your "TODO" comments in the task list,
not all of them, you can try to find the "TODO" to the "Current Project",
it will bring back the lost ones.



Thanks!
