In .NET 2.0, is there any way to include comments in the aspx file
that do not get rendered to the client (ie no <!-- -->) ?

When I try to include C# comments in a code block in an aspx page,
like this:

	<%
	// *******************************************************
	// CHANGE HISTORY:
	// DATE             USER        CHANGE
	// 08/14/2007 Tue   ebloom      updated logo
	// *******************************************************
	%>

I am getting an error

	The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control
contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>).

It would seem this is because .NET doesn't like inline code (even
though it isn't really "code" we want to include, just comments).

Including these comments in the codebehind is not preferred because
the changes are specific to the ASPX page. Our site has multiple
versions of a given aspx for each language, ie

	/en/mypage.aspx
	/de/mypage.aspx
	etc.

and the codebehind is stored in

	/common/mypage.aspx.cs

Any help appreciated, thanks...

Hi,

<%--
Everything here is a comment
--%>

So basically in <%-- --%>
