VB IDE code related question

Hello all
In VB6, there was an option to bookmark a line of code. This made it easy to reference when going to a different part of code.
But, I dont see it in VB 2005.
What ive been doing is making syntax errors just to create something like a bookmark, that I can click on when i'm somewhere else in code (click it from the Errors window).
Aside from that 'hack', is there something where .NET 2005 supports bookmarking?
Thanks
Eric

In c# if you put in
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. //todo (anything else here)
  2.  
That tasks tab would give a link to each of those lines.

I would imagine VBNET has it like this
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. 'todo (anything else here)
  2.

Bummer. Its not the same with VB.net. I know if you hit 3 appostrophe's, you get all kinds of help with comments. but nothing like a bookmark.
Thanks anyway

Actually, there is a way to bookmark lines in VS. Ctrl-B, T (hold ctrl, then push b then push t) or find the rounded rectangle icon in the "Text Editor" toolbar. Pick a line and click it, or press the shortcut.

You can press Ctrl-B,N for next, and Ctrl-B,P for previous bookmark. There are also three different kind of buttons to navigate to the bookmarks. Next/Prev, Next/Prev in Document, and Next/Prev in folder.

Hope you come back and see this.
