Questions tagged [todo]

TODO is often used in code comments to indicate a task that needs to be done. IDEs often highlight them. Please do not use this for questions about creating todo list applications.

TODOs are source-code comments, stating that something still needs to be done in that particular section of the program.

Different syntaxes are used for different languages. A typical C-style example would be:

// TODO: Fix this

It has been debated whether todo comments are to be considered good or bad practice.

Most IDEs have the facility of highlighting TODOs and/or displaying them in a separate view.

Removing projects from Visual Studio's Task List

When working on a project in VS, I like to use the Task List window to see the TODO's. However, it presents the TODO's for all the projects in the solution. Is it possible to isolate a particular project so you can hone in on one project?
