What is StickyNotes©

It is a Visual Studio plug in that seamlessly integrates with the IDE providing sticky notes capabilities to documents inside a solution. It also provides viewing and search facilities over the created notes.

Why StickyNotes© is necessary

There are two types of comments:

  • Permanent comments
    • Used for reference and code maintenance
    • Usually describe an algorithm or why we just did something in a particular manner
  • Temporary comments
    • Used for personal purposes like reminders. Ex: //I need to verify this…
    • Used to reflect something we need to do or complete. Ex: //TODO:
    • Used for code review. Ex: // Please validate against null
    • Written in the middle of the development and deleted before shipping the product

Permanent comments are part of the source code, committed to the source control system and visible by the entire team.

Temporary comments should not be part of the source code, should not always be committed to the source control system and sometimes should not be visible by the entire team.

StickyNotes© focuses on temporary comments (called notes) and enhances the IDE to support:

  • A way to add notes to any document (not only code) that are stored separately from the source. Ex: vb files, cs files, xml files, html files, etc
  • A way to add personal notes that are only visible to the owner.
  • A way to add team notes that are committed to the source control system and visible to the entire team
  • A way to add notes and associate them with a particular/s line number/s
  • A way to view all notes inside a solution
  • A way to find notes inside a solution
