I read this wonderful post in Visual Studio 2008, but did not see it. It drives me crazy. Now I understand that some people use block comments like this for function documentation, etc.:
But you know, this is VS2008, and now we can use ///. The only time I've ever felt the need to use C style comments is when I have some kind of garbage or test code that I temporarily want to delete. It absolutely makes me go blank when I do first /*, and then when I add a line after the test code, it automatically puts a space after *, and I end up: * /. That way, I ultimately always have to have a backspace to complete the block comment.
I looked through all the settings of the C # editor in the VS2008 IDE and did not find anything suitable.
Is this really driving someone else crazy, or am I turning into codemudgeon?
