In FolderView : Comment Out Selected Lines Does Not Work

vsfeedback commented 6 years ago

In both C# and VB.NET, I cannot comment out selected lines, either by keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+K, Ctrl+C) or by menu button/command. I also cannot format the document, again either by keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D) or by menu button/command.

I am running Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 15.1 (26403.3) on an x64 machine, Windows 10 1703 (15063.138).

I realize now that I was in "Folder View", even though I had the code file open and was editing it. Once I opened the solution, everything started working as expected. Not sure if this is a bug, or a feature.

Visual Studio Team on 4/14/2017, 02:28 PM (429 days ago): Thank you for your feedback! This is expected behaviour ...Designer category doesn't work very well in folder view. Adding the request in our backlog to see if we can improve the experience.

Repro steps

Create a console Application ( .net core)
Make sure Comment/Uncomments are working
Close the solution
Open the same via File -> Open -> Folder
check if comment/Uncomment works

I've got the same problem : I can't comment or uncomment code or format it. I'm working with a web app .net core 2.0, and sometimes when i'm working inside of views my comment function stop working. however when i'm in a controller or a model it seems it's always fine, I've got no problem at all. On this picture I can format or comment But on the second I can't, note the line that disapear.. this is Jquery code in cshtml view

I have a similar issue - but with C#. The comment / uncomment shortcut keys (or when selected from the menu) don't work in C# - but they DO work with typescript, SQL, etc.

Also - Format Document doesn't work

FormatDocument would potentially be hard to provide (unless you have a .editorconfig), because it's not clear what formatting options should be used. Comment/Uncomment should be allowed though.

@jinujoseph I don't repro this myself. Even when i open a C# file from "Open Folder" i.e.:
