Multiline Commenting

[Denaes]

Is this possible in vb.net?

I saw this used in J# and C# as well as Java and I think it makes commenting much easier.

Afraid not - for some reason they dont seem to like multi line comments in VB. As far as Im aware this isnt likely to change in the next version either....

Really?

wow... that strikes me as strange.

I mean I know that not everyone would use it, but I dont see a reason to keep it from the language.

What is it, some sort of perk to get you to cross over to C# or something?

There is no syntax for multiline comments, but there are toolbar buttons that work when you select blocks of code.

you can always use the good old method of multi line commenting , _ at the end of your comment line. eg:

[COLOR=Green]/// a multi line _
Comment _
like this.[/COLOR]

I understand why some posts in this topic were deleted.

Why was this moved to Random Thoughts? Its a strictly vb code related question.

Just curious (and glad offending post was removed)

Not sure. Moved.
