Hello,

 I have recently started using PCP in conjunction with Visual Basic.NET 2005.  I have been in the habit of placing my comments for a method just below the method call and before my first Dim.  Here is an example of a method:

----------------------- Code -----------------------
Public Sub mySub()

'My comments normally go here...

Dim myVariable As String

Code would go here

End Sub
----------------------- Code -----------------------

When I print the code using PCP my comments above my first Dim get removed, and the Dim moved all the way up to just below the Public Sub.  Is there a way to stop this from happening?

 Thank you for your time,
Jeremy Collins

Hi Jeremy,

No, not with the current version. PrettyCode.Print will remove leading and trailing comments. If there was a logical reason for this back when this was implemented, I don't remember it.

Thanks for the reply Serge.  Is there any chance this will be changed in the future?  I know it sounds silly but this would be a real deal breaker for us.  We have probably 50+ programs written with that style of commenting.  If we can't use PCP with these past programs then we will not be able to use PCP at all.

Hi Jeremy,

I have added this to the upcoming version list. We will get this done. Although I can't promise the update earlier than mid to late summer.

I hope this works for you.
