Is there a way to comment out markup in an ASPX page

Question

Is there a way to comment out markup in an  ASPX page so that it isn t delivered to the client  I have tried the standard comments  lt  -- -- gt  but this just gets delivered as a comment and doesn t prevent the control from rendering

I believe you re looking for    lt  -- your markup here --  gt    That is a serverside comment and will not be delivered to the client     but it s not optional   If you need this to be programmable  then you ll want this answer  -

lt  --             Commented out HTML CODE Markup   Anything with             this block will not be parsed handled by ASP NET                lt asp Calendar runat  server  gt  lt  asp Calendar gt                 lt    Eval    SomeProperty       gt       --  gt    Source

Bonus answer  The keyboard shortcut in Visual Studio for commenting out anything is Ctrl-KC   This works in a number of places  including C   VB  Javascript  and aspx pages  it also works for SQL in SQL Management Studio    You can either select the text to be commented out  or you can position your text inside a chunk to be commented out  for example  put your cursor inside the opening tag of a GridView  press Ctrl-KC  and the whole thing is commented out

While this works    lt  --  lt    Page Language  C   AutoEventWireup  true  CodeBehind  Default aspx cs  Inherits  ht tv1 Default    gt  --  gt   lt    Page Language  C   AutoEventWireup  true  CodeBehind  Default aspx cs  Inherits  Blank  Default    gt    This won t    lt    Page Language  C   AutoEventWireup  true  CodeBehind  Default aspx cs   lt  --Inherits  ht tv1 Default --  gt  Inherits  Blank  Default    gt    So you can t comment out part of something which is what I want to do 99 9995  of the time

Another way assuming it s not server side code you want to comment out is      lt asp panel runat  server  visible  false  gt      html here  lt  asp panel gt
