TODO - Task List C#

I want to use TODO to add to my task list. However, per this MSDN , it says that C# only shows the "TODO"s for opened files, but Visual Basic shows them for all files(whether open or not). Anybody know how to make C# show the TODOs in all files?

Thanks.

You probably can't.

VB.NET projects do background compiling of everything, so it keeps a list of that stuff. C# projects do not.

You could write a visual studio extension that would do this for C#, but that's probably more trouble than it's worth.

I did find this.

it seems to work when run from cmd(shows all "TODO"s in all files), but it won't output in VS. I followed his instructions but it doesn't seem to show up. Anybody know how to make it actually run? Is there a special button combination to make the "external tools.." actually run?

He shows a screenshot of the External Tools window and says how to get to that window. It isn't rocket science.

And please use tags instead of forcing us to copy and paste the link.

please learn to read. I did exactly what he stated and made my windows exactly like his...and it doesn't show me anything inside of VS.....I stated this in my earlier post. I am wondering what else I have to do to make it show up.

and about the URL, get over it. it takes you all of 2 seconds to copy and paste.

Oooooh. I thought it was a much smaller number than that.
I stand corrected.

Regarding the tool itself, I followed the same directions to install (naming it 'Show all TODO'), and it works fine when I click Tools -> Show all TODO. The Output panel appears and displays the output.

I can't think of any factors that would prevent this from working... unless you were expecting it work in some other way.

that is what I was asking about. This is the first time I have added an external tool so I thought it just ran whenever I built the project(I'm a noob). I didn't know that it was now listed under the "Tools" menu.

Thanks for the help.
