Block commenting VB/VB.NET code

Question

How to comment multiple lines of code/block of code in VB?

Answer 1

Totally abusing compiler directives here... but:

#If False Then
Comments
go
here
#End If

You don't get the benefits of proper code coloration (it doesn't show in green when using the default color scheme) and the implicit line-continuation system automatically indents lines in a paragraph starting at the second line. But the compiler will ignore the text.
