How to put in comment more than 1 line in ASP ?

[ETN]

Hi all,

I have an easy question.. I've been doing for a while ASP but I never found out how to comment a block of code...

If I have 2-3 lines it's ok to put somes ' like:
' response.write("test")

but if i have 15-20 lines.. it's long..

What I am currently doing if i want to comment a block of code:

%> 
<!-- ********* code is disabled ***********
response.write("test")
......
******** end of comments --> <%

But it's not a good way, even if it works because the client, if he view the source can see my code...

Any others ideas ?
Thanx!

well, that's more of a language specific question. If you use jscript then /* */ will perform the block comment. VBScript does not have a block comment char set that I am awhere of. So you're stuck with
' comment
' comment
' comment
' comment
' comment

You cant use other then " ' " and for 1 line as far as i knw for ASP or VBScript.

You can also write all your code using JavaScript instead of VBScript and then use /* */ combination

wow you guys answered fast.. thanx.. sad althought that Microsoft didnt think about anything for that... it's funny that they didn't put a standard.. like in C it's "/* */", in VB "'" ..

If you want to patch out a whole block of code you can always put it between

if true = false then
...
...
end if

statements to stop it running.
