Need hotkey/button to comment out a block of code in Visual Studio 2008 Express

I'm coming from Eclipse, working in Visual Studio 2008 Express and just want to highlight code, right-click and comment it out.

  • nothing in right-click
  • looking in Tools | Options, Toolbars, Commands, can't find a button for it...

How do I activate this the comment/uncomment feature, I know Visual Studio 2003 had it.

HERE ARE THE ANSWERS, TURNS OUT IT DEPENDS WHAT YOU ARE USING:

Visual Studio 2008 Full Version:

Comment Ctrl-K , Ctrl-C
Uncomment Ctrl-K , Ctrl-U

Visual Web Developer 2008 Express:

Comment Ctrl-K , Ctrl-C
Uncomment Ctrl-K , Ctrl-U

Visual C# 2008 Express:

Comment Ctrl-E , Ctrl-C
Uncomment Ctrl-E , Ctrl-U

Solution

  • Weird it's Ctrl+E, C (Comment) and Ctrl+E, U (Uncomment)

    Normally It's Ctrl+K, C and Ctrl+K, U as Mauro says. Express Edition default (and only) keyboard mapping says otherwise.
