How do I handle TODO comments in VisualStudio 2010?

I'd like Visual Studio to list all lines having "TODO: " in their beginning (usually after a comment sign which may vary depending on the file type), that can be found in any textual file in a solution (whether it be C#, VB, F#, T-SQL, ASPX, XAML or just TXT) in a special panel showing what's written in the line to the right of "TODO: ", project name (I use many projects in one solution), file name, line number, and code block name (like class and method) if possible.

Do you know of such an extension, or maybe VisualStudio has this feature built-in somewhere? For example, NetBeans sort of has this out-of-the-box.
