I'm also using GhostDoc in Visual Studio 2008. How do I view all to-do items and if that's a function already in Visual Studio or in GhostDoc (documentation tool that I use)?

A:
If you are referring to TODOs that are defined with the // TODO comments.
Open the Task list and set it to the Comments filter.
Also be careful with GhostDoc. Always read the comment that was generated, I remember that older versions would generate comment like: "Toes the string" for a method like ToString().

oh yea, I always read the comment. half the time I modify but it helps me start out so I love it. I think VS has a simplar auto gen XML comments too? I just like the stubbing out of the XML comment structure and Ghostdoc does help a lot with the text ..but yea you do have to modify it if it doesn't make sense.

Also, if your TODOs use a different string than `TODO`, you can make those show upin the task list as well by going to `Tools->Options->Task List` and adding items to the "Token list:" there (along with priority).

Visual Studio will generate a small comment block when you type three slashes: ///, that's about it. GhostDoc is nice, when used properly, sometimes people get too lazy using it, saves a lot of typing though :). Also if you're interested in generating documentation, check out Microsoft SandCastle.

Also check out my free AtomineerUtils addin (www.atomineerutils.com) - it's like GhostDoc but does considerably more and produces better comments so there's less to clean up manually afterwards.
