Vista - Commenting out a block

What is the method for commenting out a block? /* .. */ doesn't work for
me.

Thanks.

Sadly no. Please suggest this.
The way I do it is
if (0) {
.............
..............
}

Thanks. Does the stuff between the { } have to be syntatically correct (other
than matching {}'s) since this is a script and not compiled?

Right - that is the downside of that technique - it has to be syntatically
correct. Here is what you want to use:

$IWishPowerShellHadBlockComments = @'
.....
.....
'@

You can put anything in a here string.

Watch out and make sure there is no whitespace after the initial @'.

Or use an IDE like Powershell Analyzer that had VS.NET like comment ability
(one of my favorite features... that is auto outline!!!)
