Where are User Tasks from the Task List in Visual Studio.NET Stored?

Posted 2004-12-06 12:08 AM in Programming.

I'm not sure why I wanted to know this, but I was looking for where the User Tasks (not the auto-generated Comment Token Tasks) were stored from Visual Studio.NET.

They are stored in the Solution file's (.SLNs) parallel Solution User Options (.SUO) file. This file appears to be OLE Structured Storage, even in Whidbey.

Now I know.

P.S. We, as a policy, don't check either *.SUO files or *.CSPROJ.USER files into source control (we've added them to .CSVIgnore) as they are totally user-specific options and would not only clutter and confused, but potentially share settings and tasks we don't want to share.

*shocked gasp* you are using CVS for real product development?!! for butt-nacked open-sourcer that could be explained, but for commercial entity which can afford perforce, source vault or even subversion.... rolling disbelief check!

You are in for a surprice in Whidbey, at least for web projects. Some of the settings for the IIS path is, apparently, stored in the suo file. I hope this is a bug and it will be fixed. The bug kicks in when you have a web app path deeper than one level.

Thanks. This is important to know if you want to back up these tasks.
