Commenting Tool for Visual Studio

One of the tools that Visual Studio provides is a system to keep track of comments in your code.

The Task List/Comments Manager

The Task List portion allows you to create tasks within the panel for things that effect your project as a whole. You can set the priority of the task and if it has been completed or not.

The Comments Manager portion acts a little differently. You can't set comments directly in the panel. You can place comments directly in your code and if the comment starts with the proper keywords, (TODO, HACK, UNDONE, or UnresolvedMergeConflict) then it will automatically appear in the panel.

To edit the panel and to add more keywords, go to Tools/Options - Environment - Task List
