This may be something i am missing. I have tried to create an AutoText comment shortcut in VB.NET 2005. The shortcut doesn't work, although the AutoText can be selected from the context menu.
One clue might be shown below. The Autotext I created shows up red in the treeview. Any ideas?

the entry is red because this is a newly added or edited entry. this helps you to pick out the items you are editing when you have a long list of autotext entries.
do any of the existing autotext entries work for you? i have just tried some tests here, and it looks like any autotext entry who's shortcut starts with a single quote is never suggested when editing.
case=1970
for now can you use a different shortcut? // works just fine, but this may seen alien, since it is the C++, C# single line comment syntax, not the VB comment syntax. |

The other AutoText entries work just fine. As for using a // as a comment in VB, that's cool. I am an oldskool C++ programmer.
Thanks for validating the issue with a case number.
