Bug? OutputCache directive processed when commented out

[Amil Hanish]

I had an aspx page with output caching turned on. Then I wanted to do some
other stuff and I commented it out like:

<!--
<%@ OutputCache Duration="1800" VaryByParam="t" %>
-->

The IDE correctly shows this as a green comment...but don't be fooled. .NET
still processes and caches the output. In my case, the ClientID values
started being duplicated for a DataList object.

No, it doesn't.

Try :

<%--
<%@ OutputCache Duration="1800" VaryByParam="t" %>
--%>

HTML comment code doesn't affect ASP.NET server-side code.
You need to use proper ASP.NET comment marks.

You can also use :
<%-- @ OutputCache Duration="1800" VaryByParam="t" --%>
