Commented Code Not Treated As Commented Code

Jim Heavey

Hello, I thought I was loosing my mind. I had a page which was working
perfectly fine until I decided to try to add a control to a footer line in
code. So I took the Validation control which was embedded in my .aspx file
and moved it to the very bottom of the page and placed the "" after the closing tag
of my control. Just want to ensure that I could add it in code first prior
to completly removing the control.

Every time I ran, I would get an unhandled exception indicating that the it
could not find the control referenced in my "ControlToValid ate". So I
commented out the code which was adding the control in code and ran again.
But again, I would get the same error.

Then I removed my "Commented" code and it ran just fine.

Why is ASP trying to do anything with the line which is surrounded by the
"comment" characters?

Example:

That is client-side commenting, it is ignored with server side code. You
need to use server-side comments:

<%-- <asp:label runat="server" /> --%>

Hope this helps,

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
