vb.net: is it possible to comment out more than 1 line of code at a time?

Question

i know in java and other nice languages it's possible to comment out a bunch of lines at the same time. is it possible to do this in vb.net?

Answer 1

No it is not you need to comment out each line individually

Answer 2

If you mean syntactically, like /* ... */ in C++, then no. But if you mean from your IDE, then from Visual Studio:

• Highlight the text you want to comment out
• Type Ctrl+K, then Ctrl+C
• You can also uncomment text using Ctrl+K, then Ctrl+U

Answer 3

Yup. Select the text and then press Ctrl-K, Ctrl-C. And you can uncomment it using Ctrl-K, Ctrl-U.

Answer 4

If you edit VB in emacs, you just do M-x comment-region.

Answer 5

You can use conditional compilation to achieve the same effect:

#If False Then

Dim parameters() As SqlParameter = _
{ _
    New SqlParameter("@program_year", programYear), _
    New SqlParameter("@report_id", reportId), _
    New SqlParameter("@report_group", reportGroup), _
    New SqlParameter("@report_period", reportPeriod) _
}
Return SqlHelper.ExecuteDataSet(Report.ConnectionString, kSql, parameters, CommandType.StoredProcedure)

#End If
