Visual Studio Task List - TODO HACK UNDONE

Some of you may notice that when you put comment like "//TODO fix this" in your C# code in visual studio, then open the "View > Task List" then choose "Comments" in the pull down, you will see that TODO item on the list. It is a quick way to add a marker in the code so as to remind yourself / or your team what further work need to be done on a particular part of the code. Apart from //TODO , there is also //HACK and //UNDONE you can use in a similar manner. However, I have my own convention on this kind of stuffs, that is //XXX (please it don't get me wrong, it is just easier to type). But Visual studio could not natively pick up the comment with "//XXX" and add to the task list. It turns out that you can add your own "Token" to have visual studio parser your comment as a task list item.
