Workstation replacement for Visual Studio

Question

I would like to use the task list in Visual Studio, but it really does not have almost any useful function that the task list should provide. Therefore, I use Todo-List from the outside to track what I need to do. It would be nice to have it all in one place.

Does anyone know of a cool Add-On replacement for task list in Visual Studio?

Thanks in advance!

What about the FogBugz add-in for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008?

This requires a FogBugz account hosted either locally or Fog Creek. A free version of Student and Startup is available .

Answer 3

For tasks with immediate programming, I use TODO comments in code and ReSharper for Visual Studio to view them.

For long-term tasks, I use Team Foundation Server to record work items.

For tasks without programming, I use Google Calendar.

You can change the task list in Visual Studio by clicking on TOOLS → OPTIONS → ENVIRONMENT → TASK LIST

In the list of tokens, you can add more tokens specific to what you want to call your tasks.

For example, I have the EDITING token set, so in any module, class or method I'm working on, I just add the comment "EDITING: (Any method name is ect ..)", and I can quickly see where I left off and will return too by double clicking.

Here are a few other tokens that I find useful ...

If you need more advanced project and code tracking, you should check out Visual Studio Online. It is free for up to 5 users. http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-online-overview-vs

Answer 5

I don't know the add-ons (I use Remember The Milk from the outside), but I think you're on a good idea there.

Answer 6

We use Team Foundation Server at work - this is really an excellent product, but too expensive for small teams.

Doesn't work. I'm looking to use CountersSoft Gemini ( http://countersoft.com/home.aspx ), which has good integration with VS and is competitive when viewing a hosted version with unlimited users.
