Commenting out XML

[Ron McNulty]

Often when testing an app, I want to temporarily comment out sections of the
App.config file. Is there any way to do this?

Hi Ron,

Use this:

<!--
<commented code/>
-->

Hi Joe

Thanks for the reply. However, I often have comments inside the section I am
commenting out, and this fails when it hits the first -->

Then replace the -->'s with %-> and then when restoring the commented-out
block do a find/replace for %-> to -->.

Be creative.

Hi Jon

Sounds like that would work, but it is a tad more messy than hitting a
toolbar button (e.g. When commenting out C#).
