How to maintain bookmarks in Visual Studio project for developer and team separately?

Question

Where are the the bookmark details stored in a Visual Studio project?

project file : *.csproj solution file: *.sln

I am wondering if its possible to maintain bookmarks separately for team and per developer by default.

When I check the project into source control (Perforce) I do not want all my bookmarks to sync in for other developers but only a few which are useful to the whole team.

Update #1: we need some reference point in the code - that can be used as shorthand in email and commuincaiton between developers / support teams. For that we need to maintain bookmark at team level.

Update #2: It seems everyone suggested not to share bookmarks at team level (it's a hidden file for a reason etc...). I am wondering if there is any other tool in Visual Studio to meet the purpose here. The best thing about bookmarks is their ability to hyperlink to any portion of a code which is extremely useful if the code base is HUGE!

Answer 1

Bookmarks like index of code. So, it would be very useful for all team. I don't need to think or search where is the code which does do that... Just go to bookmark window and double click to categorized index.

Answer 2

It's suggested that you NOT use Bookmarks for team activities but instead use comment tokens (aka "TODO's", etc..) as they travel with the source code.

Answer 3

Well shared bookmarks are extremely useful for code review at least.

Answer 4

Bookmarks are stored in your solution's .SUO file.

However it is not a good idea to put this file into source control. That's why it's a hidden file.

In my opinion, bookmarks are user-specific and should not be shared between team members.
