2k8pro I don't. I created a dummy solution and it had the same behavior; so it's probably not solution specific. There doesn't appear to be anything relevant on the appropriate options page either.

I am unaware of anything besides Tools/Options/Environment/TaskList. To get the list updated, I suspect you need the relevant files recompiled; you did try a Rebuild All? :)

Just tried that. No joy. The comments appear/disappear as the containing .cs files are opened/closed. As a semi-related question: is there a way to display both comments and user tasks at the same time?

this[^] confirms TODO may or may not apply only to open source files, but does not really help. Seems like MS is protecting you against too many TODO: big project = many TODOs = VS Pro = only for open files FWIW: you can always search the solution for TODO :)

I always use #warning for these kind of things. It forces a warning at compile time. And no code goes into production until all warnings are removed.
I might have to do that. I don't leave warnings other than bogomessages from autogenerated code alive at the production level either. I'm doing a vs2k3 to vs2k8 conversion/revision of a project I haven't looked at in about 2 years. I'm putting down lots of

GAH!!!!! WTF can't they make stuff like that user configurable with different defaults if it'll make the C#/VB/C++ PM's feed good to have theirs work differently.

Is there a way to keep "#warning" out of the error list itself?
