    What are tasks in C#?

    It's such a common word that I can't find any documentation on the
    subject.

    I'm using Visual Studio Express 2008

    If you mean the Tasks View, then there are two options (at least).

    1. You enter a task reminder like "Hey, fix the code in class XYZ, method
    ABC."
    2. You enter a comment task such as "// todo: Fix the line below this comment.

    Item one shows up as user tasks while item two shows up as comment tasks.

    VS will put a ton of comment tasks when using the automagic conversion
    utility from VS 2003 -2005/2008.

      Its also my own personal habit to use the word "task" when documenting my
      code using regions which are both a blessing and a curse... so I use the
      word to indicate code that require logical processing of some type,
      branching logic and so on... whereas methods, events and properties should
      be terms that are self evident eh?

      #region Task: Membership Control Panel
      // code to manage some membership processes...
      ....
      #endregion

      I also use other "keywords" in my regions...

      #region Method: ...
      #regtion Event: ...
      #region Properties:...

      The blessing should be obvious as regions are collapisble and help keep the
      collection of code organized and easier to scroll through a file with
      thousands of lines of code but the curse is it hides the code when collapsed
      making it impossible to see something and easy to forget which region the
      code you are looking for exists. That is why I broke my regions into named
      categories as it helps manage the curse.
