Block commenting VB/VB.NET code

Question

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

Answer 1

Block comments in C-like style /* my comment */ would be useful on e.g. multi-line VB.net statements. They are currently not available. However, in place of writing

myVal = "bla bla bla" /* my comment */ _
      + " more of the same " _
      + " and still more "

You could write:

myVal = "bla bla bla" + 'my comment
        " more of the same " +
        " and still more "

That will work on the later versions of VB.Net.
