    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.

      At least those comments describe what the code is doing.

        Are you saying that the code isn't ending at the ////////////////END/////////////// ?

          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.

                                  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.

                                          I came across one a few days ago - ////////This is a comment//////////// :doh:

                                          The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick - Silverlight *.XCP files. Visit the Hindi forum here.
