I am trying to comment on my html code and working with Visual Studio 2010 and asp.net 4.0. I can't seem to locate the correct syntax to comment my code, I have managed to do the CSS file fine but the same syntax wont work in the .aspx pages. I realise I am missing something blatantly obvious but after 3 days with no sleep things don't make much sense any more. :-(

Solution 3

HTML Comments look like this: <!-- comment --!>[^] and can span several lines.

Other types can be used, within Javascript (// coment[^], but only to end of line), or C# (similar to javascript but can be /* comment */ and span many lines) or VB (' Comment to end of line).

What types of comment is giving problems?

Solution 4

One of the best way is to remember shortcut, Forget syntax :)

Below shortcuts work in code behind as well as in design mode for Visual Studio only.
So no need to remember different syntax, does not matter weather working with C# or VB

Comment code: Ctrl+K+C
UnComment code: Ctrl+K+U

Dont forget to Mark as Answer/Solution if it is helpful to you...

Good one!
Let manage the syntax by studio.

Agree, makes sense, a 5 (but everyone should know the syntax well)
