comment in ASP page

[Matthew Louden]

I want to know what's the convenient way to comment out a block in ASP
pages? I read a book, and I thought we can use /** */ to comment out the
VBScript in ASP page, but it yields run time error.

All I know is to use ' but this is very slow if I want to comment out a
block? Any suggestions??

If you're using Interdev, there is an free Add-in available from
http://www.platformdev.com/ that allows you to comment/uncomment blocks,
similar to the functionality in the VB IDE.

Two very usefull tips in 2179, Aaron, though they only dependably work
for correct code, and the reason for remarking out in a debug situation
often is deselecting a faulty code.

Suppose you have a spurious "end sub" or "end if" line inside that code ?

=============== =============== ===

However there is another way,
which most editors [like my EditPad] support:


Select the block of code you want "remarked" including the line before
and excluding part of the last line.
Replace "selected only" all "newline"s with "newline" plus "' "


Response.write "http://www.aspfaq.com/2179"
Response.write "http://www.aspfaq.com/2179"
Response.write "http://www.aspfaq.com/2179"
Response.write "http://www.aspfaq.com/2179"

will become:

' Response.write "http://www.aspfaq.com/2179"
' Response.write "http://www.aspfaq.com/2179"
' Response.write "http://www.aspfaq.com/2179"
' Response.write "http://www.aspfaq.com/2179"

The reverse should be obvious.

If you're using HTML-Kit [http://www.chami.com/html-kit] you can download
a plug-in [http://www.chami.com/html-
kit/plugins/info/frsvbstyleblock comment/] that will do this for you. Just
highlight the text, hit the button and it's all commented.
