Multiline comments changed in VS2005
|

| Hi, wondering if I'm missing something before I log a minor bug to the VS2005
feedback page.
In VB6, you could span multiple lines with comments by using a line
continuation character as in
'this is the beginning of my _
comment which continues down to this line
In VS05, the 2nd line doesn't appear commented unless the apostrophe is
explicitly included.
In other language syntax, there is support for multiline comments. Did they
change this in VS05 that I'm not aware of? Thanks.

| Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may get
a stray answer to VB.NET (including VB2003 and VB2005 which has dropped .NET
from its name) questions here, you should ask them in newsgroups devoted
exclusively to .NET programming (the languages are different enough to
warrant separate newsgroup support). Look for newsgroups with either the
word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.
For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups for Visual Basic .NET
related questions...
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.upgrade
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.controls
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.data
And these for more general .NET questions
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
microsoft.public.vsnet.general
Note: There are many other .NET newgroups (use the first three "fields" from
the last two as templates when searching for them), but the above ones
should get you started.

| My bad. Sorry, Rick, I got blinded by the sheer volume of newsgroups...
