ILineCommenter Service

Hi Rick,

I'm sorry but a single ILineCommenter language service can only be registered at a time.  So yes, one will override the other.  How did you ideally want to support both comment delimiters?

Thanks, I thought as much.  My thought is that when registering an ILineCommenter you could specify a parameter indicating that it is the preferred commenter. EditorCommands.CommentLines it would look for the preferred commenter and use that one, if found.  If no preference found, use the first one registered.  If multiple preferred registered, last one registered wins.  EditorCommands.UncommentLines would uncomment any line that starts with a registered ILineCommenter.

Hi Rick,

I see... right now only one comment delimiter is supported in our LineBaseLineCommenter class.  You might be able to override that class and its Uncomment method, and call the base method.  If that ends up changing anything, I think the "snapshot.Document.CurrentSnapshot" would no longer be the "snapshot".  So if the current snapshot remained the same, no change was made, and you could set the commenter's StartDelimiter property to your alternate delimiter.  Then call the base method again.  After that restore the StartDelimiter to your primary delimiter.  It's a little kludgey but might work with the existing code for your needs.

We also will add a suggestion request for enhancing line commenters to support more than one comment kind.

Thanks!
