Q: Multicomment

[Geoff Jones]

Hi

I'm sorry if I've asked this before but is there such a thing as a
multicomment in VB.Net e.g. /*.....*/ as used in C++?

It is very annoying to add a ' to all the lines I'm trying to ignore.

No, gladly there is no such comment syntax.

It is very annoying to add a ' to all the lines I'm trying to ignore.

There are shortcuts/toolbar buttons for commenting blocks of code:

Commenting:
Ctrl+K Ctrl+C
Uncommenting:
Ctrl+K Ctrl+U

.... on my German version of VS.NET 2003.

No. But there is a toolbar button on the Text Editor Toolbar that will
comment out selected code and also a keyboard shortcut Ctrl-K, Ctrl-C.

Ctrl-K, Ctrl-U uncomments a selection.

Geoff,
In addition to the other comments (no pun intended).

I will occasionally use #if & #endif to include/exclude blocks of code.

Hope this helps
