I'd like to include some comments in a SpecFlow feature.
I get the the following error:

I've tried the following:

Specflow Solutions
Solution 1 - Specflow
As stated by sarfest above - its simply #
-sign for comments.
There are no multiline comments but that's easily solved if you can do a vertical selection (hold down ALT-key and select in Visual Studio). Vertical select and the enter a #-sign.
Additional information: the line has to start with a #, and optionally any whitespace. This means you cannot combine comments with actual code on the same line.
Solution 2 - Specflow
also, if you want to perform multiline comments in an easy way (on visual studio),
you can select the lines to be commented, and hit CTRL+K+C to comment, CTRL+K+U to Uncomment.
Solution 3 - Specflow
thank you for the wonderful idea. I just need to press ALT and select the entire lines (just the little space which holds only one character space in each line) and then enter # which result from xyz abc to
'# xyz'
'# abc'
Solution 4 - Specflow
You can add comment lines to the feature files at any place starting the line with the # sign. Be careful however, as comments in the specification are often signs of wrongly specified acceptance criteria.
The comment lines are ignored by SpecFlow.
