The only way is to highlight the lines to comment and press

ctrl + k, ctrl + c

or after highlighted press the toolbar option to comment out the selected lines.

The icons look like this enter image description here

toolbar doesn't have any option that says comment out. stupid VS. your short cuts Worked!!! – sarsnake Mar 10 '11 at 00:38
@gnomixa the icon on my VS is right under the Team link in the tool bar. You might have to go into the options to get it to show up if it is not showing in your Visual Studio. – nickmoriarty Mar 10 '11 at 00:40

@gnomixa I updated it with what the icons look like in Visual Studio. – nickmoriarty Mar 10 '11 at 00:46

I just learned this trick from a friend. Put your code inside these 2 statements and it will be commented out.

#if false

#endif

Highlight block of text, then:

Comment Block: Ctrl + K + C

Uncomment Block: Ctrl + K + U

Tested in Visual Studio 2012

multi comment in vb.net

VB.NET doesn't support for multi line comment.

The only way to do multi-line comments in VB.NET is to do a lot of single line comments(').

Or just highlight the whole code and just use (Ctrl+E,C), (Ctrl+E,U) to comment or uncomment.

Only in c# /* */

Or in ASP.NET html source using .

The only way I could do it in VS 2010 IDE was to highlight the block of code and hit ctrl-E and then C

Create a new toolbar and add the commands

Edit.SelectionComment
Edit.SelectionUncomment

Select your custom tookbar to show it.

You will then see the icons as mention by moriartyn
