VWD 2010 Not Recognizing HTML Comments

BobRoberts · November 3rd, 2011, 03:48 PM

I've tried about a half dozen times to comment out markup code, but the compiler (when I hit CTL+F5 or during intellisense) always behaves as if the commenting is not there. For example, on CTL+F5, the following code yields the error "The ID 'Login1' is already used by another control", even though the commented code is a green color. When I remove the "commented" code, it compiles ok, though I have to compile twice, as if it takes a while to realize the green code is gone. Is it the ASP.NET code varations? Do the standard HTML comments not work with the ASP.NET tags?

Code:

 <asp:Login ID="Login1" runat="server" DestinationPageUrl="~/TEST1/QTEST1.aspx">
  </asp:Login>
  
   
   <!--  <asp:Login ID="Login1" runat="server" CreateUserText="Register New Login" 
    CreateUserUrl="SignUp.aspx" DestinationPageUrl="~/TEST1/QTEST1.aspx">
  </asp:Login>  -->

Hi there.

 are used to comment out client side code. For server side code, select your code and press Ctrl+K + Ctrl+C. You'll then get a server side comments like this:

<%-- Your code --%>

Hope this helps,
