To include comments in a template, surround them with <%-- and --%> markers. Comments may span multiple lines. For instance, this comment will have no effect on the template's output:
<%-- Name: TestHarness.cst Description: Generates a standard test harness for an object --%>
Inside of a script block, use the commenting syntax of the template's language. For instance, if your template is written in C#, comments in script blocks should be prefaced with // or /* commented */.
To include a comment in a template's output, treat it like any other string. The comment in this template fragment will be copied directly to the generated code:
<%@ CodeTemplate Language="VB" TargetLanguage="VB">
