Standard documentation of Visual Studio commands?

Visual Studio has a concept of commands, i.e. actions executable by pressing a shortcut, entering them on the Command Window etc. Visual Studio itself documents its commands (at least some of them) but I was wondering if there is a unified way to get information about any command, e.g. coming from ReSharper, TestDriven.NET etc. What I'd...

Has MSDN Dropped Compact Framework already?

MSDN Documentation used to indicate if a method was supported on the compact framework. But now I can't find that info anymore.

Generating changelogs from commit-comments - bad idea?

I work for a small company (<10 developers) where we use Svn and to some extent Git. We have no release system implemented.

With this in mind I've been thinking about generating changelogs from the commi...

Where would you document standardized complex data that is passed between many objects and methods?

I'm writing a lightweight class whose attributes are intended to be publicly accessible, and only sometimes overridden in specific instantiations.

Is there a standard for "???", "!!!", "TODO" etc. tags in comments?

I'm talking about special words/tokens used in the beginning of comments, to facilitate grepping or otherwise to attach some special meaning to the comment, like // TODO: Find out what to do about this error. The meaning of some tags are obvious, like TODO and FIXME, but what about ??? and !!!? Are there others? I'm asking because I've ...
