Does VB.NET not allow line continuations over commented-out lines?

Question

I just had this throw a compilation error while refactoring some legacy (hence VB.NET) unit tests, where I wanted to just comment out one of the sample inputs to MBUnit:

Answer 1

I have a .[Rem] extension method to allow the in-place "commenting out" of fluent expressions. You could create a [Rem] attribute to do the same thing.

 _
<[Rem](" _")> _
 _
Sub Main

End Sub

' Define other methods and classes here
 _
Class [Rem]
    Inherits Attribute
    Public Sub New()
    End Sub
    Public Sub New(Comment As String)
    End Sub
End Class
