>A block comment uses a slash followed by an asterisk (/*) at the beginning of the block, and an asterisk followed by a slash at the end of the comment block (*/). Block comments enable you to write full paragraphs of comments without having to put double slashes on every line. Here is an example:

>VB.NET has only a single-line comment. Comments are make either with the "Rem" statement or with a single aspostrophe (the most used method). Here is an example:

>'This is a comment
>Rem This is another comment
>Sub MakeDeposit(ByVal Amount as Integer)
>   Dim _Balance As Integer  'Account balance
>   _Balance += Amount
>End Sub
