Visual Studio CSharp C#  Tasks to track comments as links

Example here uses Visual Studio 2012

Better alternative that Visual Studio Bookmarks.

This is a method to just use certain wording in your code comments and Visual Studio will Track them so you can double-click them in the task window as a link to that area of the code.  You can add your own "customized" prefix and set your instance of Visual Studio to track this.

The Task List displays comments in your code that begin with the comment marker for your development language. Next to the comments, the Task List also displays a default task token, such as TODO, HACK, or UNDONE, or a custom comment token. The number of comments that appear in the Task List may change, depending on the type of project you are working on. With Visual Basic and Visual C#, the Task List displays all the comments in the solution. With Visual C++ projects, the Task List displays only the comments that are found in the file that is currently active in the editor.

Task List comments can be used to indicate a variety of work to be done at the location marked, including:

• features to be added;
• problems to be corrected;
• classes to implement;
• place markers for error-handling code; and
• reminders to check in the file.

As with other Task List entries, you can double-click any comment entry to display the file indicated in the Code Editor and jump to the line of code marked.
