Hi Che, You'll have to look this up, to see if the same keyboard commands are assigned in VS 2005 as they are in VS.NET 2003. To comment a block of code, highlight the required block in the usual way, using the shift keys and arrow keys. Then, press ctrl+K followed by ctrl+C. To reverse this, and uncomment a block of code, simply highlight the commented block, and then press ctrl+K followed by ctrl+U. To toggle the outlining feature, which collapses specific groups of code, press ctrl+M followed by ctrl+M. Note, this can either be done by pressing and releasing ctrl+M twice, or you can hold down the ctrl key, and tap M twice. Whichever takes your fancy. You can find the keyboard shortcuts on each menu item, as well as in the Keyboard section of the Options dialog under the Tools menu. The menu options for performing editing and formatting, can be found under the Edit menu. E.g. for commenting and formatting code, look under Advanced, and for Outlining, well, look under Outlining. <smile> David Lant I.T.

They are making reference to buttons that allow you to comment multiple lines of code at once, as well as roll up lines of code out of the way, both of which would be of great help to me, the newbie programmer. Is there a way to do these things with the keyboard?
