TODO / HACK / UNDONE Tokens


I know about these and how to use them. The entry doesn't show up in the
Task List unless the file is open.

The question I have is that I have is...
Is there a way to have the entry show up when the file is closed. I would like
to make sure that I have fixed everything I need to before submitting my code.

I could do a brute force find on the solution, but I think that this kind of defeats
the purpose of the defined Tokens.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Dave,
It sounds like you are using C#. This is the way C# uses the task list

VB.NET on the other hand shows all tasks from all files.

Which is correct I'm not sure, I like the VB.NET method myself.

Unfortunately I do not know of any option to change the behavior in either.

Hope this helps
Jay

I have mine set to "Show Tasks" set to "All".

The problem isn't that I NEVER see them. The problem is that
I only see the markers when the actual source code file is open.

If I close the source file, the IDE automatically removes the
entry from the Task List. If I open the source file again, the
entry is re-added to the Task List.

I would like to have the marker there regardless of the case
the file is open or closed.

Cheers,
Dave

That would explain my misunderstanding also. I use VB.NET almost
exclusively and was not aware that the IDE was that different for C#.
It makes since though when you think about it. As VB.NET uses a
background compiler and C# does, if the IDE uses the compiler to parse
the comments out (why reinvent the wheel?) then it is totally
understandable.

Kevin,

From the other posts, it would appear that for C# this is just the way that it works.
If I missed something, please let me know. Otherwise, I would say this thread is
done.

Cheers,
Dave
