IDE suggestion
comments in addition to just typing in comments. For example, when working
on a subroutine that does some tricky geometry, I would sketch up (by hand
then scan or using a graphics app) the visual details being programmed.
These may include dimensioning used as local variables etc... In other
cases, one could add a hyperlink to other files/docs for further. Why do we
have to limit ourselves to simple text when commenting difficult aspects of
our source code details?
This approach would be more convenient then having to file away the details
on paper...away from your source code. Ideally the VS.Net would provide
such a feature. I have yet to try out my VS.Net beta 1 but did note some
possibly useful additions such as Do lists etc.. (of course, whether or not
they are implemented well remains to be seen:-). Comments.
