Is there any way to have a statement across multiple lines without the underscore character? It is really annoying in multi-line strings such as SQL statements, and especially LINQ queries.
Beside from the ugliness and difficulty when changing a line (nothing lines up anymore) you can't use comments in the middle of the multi-line statement.
Examples of my daily personal hell.
dim results = from a in articles _
where a.articleID = 4 _ ' articleID - Nope, cant do this
select a.articleName
dim createArticle as string = _
"Create table article " & _
" (articleID int " & _
" ,articleName varchar(50) " & _
" )"
