2.0 simple problem: comment is parsed by compiler

[R.A.M.]

Hello,
(Sorry for my English, it's not my native language...)
Could you explain me simple problem? I have little experience.

I commented part of .aspx page and tried to rebuild the project.
Unfortunately I receive errors in commented asp: elements, for
example:
'ASP.formularzewww_aspx' does not contain a definition for
'Calendar_Click'
Here is part of commented page:
<!--
Date of birth:
<asp:TextBox ID="BirthDate" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="Calendar" runat="server"
Text="Calendar"
OnClick="Kalendarz_Click" />
...
I don't understand why commented text is parsed by .NET compiler.
Could you explain me please?

Thank you very much.
/RAM/

is client-side comment syntax and therefore has no impact on server-side
processing. It's browser that understands this.

In case you want to comment server-side markup use server-side comment
syntax
