There is no block comment in VB.NET.

You need to use a ' in front of every line you want to comment out.

In Visual Studio you can use the keyboard shortcuts that will comment/uncomment the selected lines for you:

Ctrl + K, C to comment

Ctrl + K, U to uncomment

Just to clarify for future readers (fellow beginners) this isn't a three key combo (like Ctrl+Alt+Del) but rather Ctrl+k, Ctrl+c - without releasing ctrl. – Martin KS Aug 17 '17 at 14:59

Not in VB.NET, you have to select all lines at then Edit, Advanced, Comment Selection menu, or a keyboard shortcut for that menu.

In Visual Studio .NET you can do Ctrl + K then C to comment, Crtl + K then U to uncomment a block.
