Comment Syntax for tags not working?

[bjdobs]

', //, and /* */ comment syntax not working for asp tags

' <asp: ...
// <asp: ...
/* <asp: ... ... */

Is there another method to turn off code other then deleting it?

First of all, in the html of an asp.net page, you just use standard html comments -

<!--    
don't show this
-->

which will cause html content not to be displayed. BUT, even if server tags are commented out, they still are executed. If you don't want one displayed, just set it's Visible property to false.

<asp:label runat="server" visible="false">text</asp:label>

VB comments ' and C# comments // and /* */ cause the compiler to ignore the code, but only in the code of a page.
