Topic awaiting preservation: multiline commenting (Page 1 of 1)

everybody knows that you comment lines in asp code by putting a single quote at the beginning of the line.

' single line comment

how do you comment out multiple lines like in javascript i would do something like this

/*
something
something else
some more
*/

so the question is: how do you comment out multiple lines in ASP?

Sadly enough, you're stuck with putting an apostrophe before each line of your comment.

' This comment occupies

' multiple lines. As you

' can see, there's an

' apostrophe before 

' each line. Not the

' greatest solution,

' you say? Personally,

' I like having a consistent

' "left border" of my comment

' blocks.

'

' In PHP, for instance,

' I always use // -style

' comments intead of

' /*, even for large

' blocks.

thanx a lot

You can also do it by placing Rem at the beginning of each line, but using the ' is still the fastest way

I wish there was a easier way, cause some of my pages have like 8000 lines and dotting each one is a real pain, which is why i'm slowly converting all my work over to PHP
