For some reason, VAX seems to insist on coloring (using the variables colors) the comments that are prefixed by "///" 3 forward slashes. 2 "//" or more than 3 are working OK.




If this is a feature of some sort, would it be possible to deactivate it?

Thanks.

using VS2005 and VA 1555 with C++ I am not seeing any such problem:



Would you be able to export both your VA and IDE settings and send me a zip file holding the two files:

VA Options -> Performance -> General -> Export Settings

IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings

Please submit the files via the form:

http://www.wholetomato.com/support/contact.asp

including this thread ID or URL in the description, so we can match it up. I am wondering if this is somehow a function of your colour scheme, which is just a bit different from mine.

There's definitely a problem but it is caused by weird comment coloring behavior by vs2005 that happens when VA is not even running.
The problem does not occur using default IDE colors.
It does occur with these setups:
black background, non-black comment background
white background, non-white comment background

I've only seen this with C#. "///" seems to be a keyword of sorts for XML style comments.
Look at:
Tools -> Options, then
Text Editor -> C# -> Advanced -> Generate XML documentation comments for ///

After a bit of digging, a new FAQ:

http://docs.wholetomato.com?W144

the answer is to change the colour of both Comment and XML Doc Comment
