Either <%-- --%> or <!-- --> can be used to comment out the VS 2005/ASPnet 2.0 coding?
What is the difference?

<!-- --> is strictly an HTML comment. You could use those to hide HTML from displaying, however, I think in some cases server controls contained withing them will still be processed.
I'm not familiar with <%-- --%>. In order to comment out inline code, you'd need to use the appropriate comment char for the language:
VB - <% ' %>
C# - <% // %>

You can use <%-- --%> to comment out server controls in markup at the server. E.g.: this button will never make it to the browser and won't be accessible from code behind:
<%--<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />--%>
In contrast, an HTML comment like this:
<!-- <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" /> -->
still makes Button1 a valid server side button that you can access in code and that makes it to the browser However, in the browser it will be seen as a plain comment:
<!-- <input type="submit" name="Button1" value="Button" id="Button1" /> -->
Try pressing Ctrl+K followed by C in VWD; it will automatically add the right code for you, regardless of where you are (ASPX, code behind, class file and so on)
