        That ascribes a reasoned motive for the comment.

          how about?

          // enumerating i from 0 to 10 (Lloyd 29 07 2010)
          for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
          {
          // printing i to the console (Lloyd 29 07 2010)
          Console.WriteLine(i);
          // TODO should do something more useful later (Lloyd 29 07 2010)
          }

          A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station.... _________________________________________________________ My programs never have bugs, they just develop random features.

                Your comments are not accurate. You are enumerating from 0 to 9!

                  I personally don't find it necessary to worry that my editor is going to somehow 'fall off the end' of a file, and mark that end with a comment. That's like wearing a seat belt in your desk chair, because you're worried that the Earth's gravity might fail.

                      That one is actually useful - it triggers Visual Studio to add it to the Tasks List. Visual Studio Tasks List[^]

                            UNless it's changed in 2k10 I don't think the task list is particularly useful outside of VB because of non-overridable language specific behavior. In VB it shows all the TODOs in the solution. In C# it shows all the TODOs in open files. In C++ it shows all the TODOs in the file being edited. The latter two are near useless in larger projects. Instead I litter my .cs files with #warning TODO blah... lines.

                            3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18

                                        1992-08-02 (or thereabouts), but I still print my code occasionally. Nowadays I use Word and I have a header that indicates the filename and pages.

                                          hey, that was not suppose to be viewable. That is how VS knows when it reaches EOF.

                                          Yusuf May I help you?
