Special chars in C# comments

It seems not unusual for me that I have special chars like
< (less than) or > (greater than) in C# comments,
especially in <code> sections. For instance,
<code> if(a<b) c=3; </code> should be a valid comment, but
the '<' in the if statement is treated as beginning of a
new XML token and leads to a compiler warning.
Do you have any idea how I can use these characters in C#
comments, without beeing interpreted as XML tokens?

Thanks,
Dirk

Use &lt; instead of <, &gt; instead of >.

Hi, I'm trying to use GET method to pass variables through my script files. Unfortunately, when a special char (&, ?, +) is being posted the variable gets trimmed in a very strange way. I'm aware, that's connected with the way the GET method passes variable values, but I don't know how to make GET to take the variable value "as it is" without interpreting special chars as special chars. So, how should I send GET variables in order not...

When I execute a ReadLine from an ascii file with special chars (ie. the 'Ñ' in "NUÑEZ PEREZ"), it automatically deletes this character. So "NUÑEZ PEREZ" becomes "NUEZ PEREZ". How can this be avoided? The reason being that I compare this string to a string in an Access DB (btw, Access also screws up with the character by replacing "Ñ" with "-"). So when I compare these two strings, they won't match because both systems storing the data...
