Re: comment out a large portion of codes

Odd! ;-) I've used #IF False on blocks of code that have syntax errors.

For example the following block contains a syntax error (3.7x is not a valid
literal). It compiles under VB.NET 2003.

Public Sub Main()
Dim s As Single
#If False Then
s = 3.7x
#End If

End Sub

I would expect it to compile as #if is one of the Conditional Compilation
statements.

Are there specific syntax errors that you have used that cause the above not
to work?

Hope this helps
Jay
