I used to have a VAX toolbar button marked "//" that would comment a selection. Its gone! How can I get it back? I tried customising the toolbar, but there is no button for this command anymore :-(
I don't like C-Style comments... |

We assume you have VC++ 6.0.
In our effort to make consistent the toolbars and commands we offer for VS.NET and VC++ 6.0, we dropped the // command from VC++ 6.0. The mistake was an oversight. We will look for a resolution, either returning // or changing the /* that we offer.
You might try enabling "Surround selection" on the Text Editor|General node of our options dialog. Select and type / to surround your selection with a comment. (The / command knows when it can use // and when it must use /* only.)
As a general comment, the more information you provide about a problem, the more likely others will comment and the more likely we are to fix it. Details are good. |

I too would like very much to have this option returned. I also would like to have both the line comment and the block comment function have the option to be bound to a keystroke in VS 6 if this is feasible.
Thanks and keep up the good work!

Is this new to VA X? Because I am using VA 1106 on VS .NET 2003, editing a .c file, and it is putting // in when I use the / keystroke (surround on selection is on).

Though your description is short, we believe VA.NET 7.1 1106 might be doing what it should do. Select a few lines and press / to comment the lines. Type / again to remove the comment symbols.
If you have no selection, / inserts a / as usual. |

What I am doing is editing C code (not C++). I want to comment out several lines of code. I highlight the code, then hit the "/" key. In C code, this should comment out the selection with "/*", not with "//".
How VA .NET 1106 works, however, is that if the selection includes an EOL character, it uses "//" as the comment character(s).

Build 1220 replaces /* command with the more popular // command.
We still have plans to add separate commands for commenting of lines and blocks. |

| I suppose I should have spoken up earlier, but I liked the button that had /* and I used the / from the keyboard to get the c++ comments before I installed 1220 and 1221. Can we custimize the toolbar to get the old /* button back? |
