Err...
Go to: View -> Other Windows -> Task List
Then: View -> Show Tasks -> Comments
I do not think that writing a kind of that program will be useful. That's because the lists (TODO, HACK ...and custom *) are per project. But if you definately want to write an application for that.. it is easy:
- The app should ask for the solution's folder.
- Recursively, locate all .vb or .cs files (code files)
- Open each one (stream) and parse the lines that start with 'TODO'
I would not try it because i dont find it useful... as the program will look into the source files.
