How do I write comments in a SpecFlow Feature?

I'd like to include some comments in a SpecFlow feature.

I get the the following error: 

Custom tool error: Parsing error near '/*'

I've tried the following:

// comment
/* comment */
-- comment
' comment

How do I do this?

As stated by sarfest above - its simply #-sign for comments.

There are no multiline comments but that's easily solved if you can do a vertical selection (hold down ALT-key and select in Visual Studio). Vertical select and the enter a #-sign.

Additional information: the line has to start with a #, and optionally any whitespace. This means you cannot combine comments with actual code on the same line.

thank you for the wonderful idea. I just need to press ALT and select the entire lines (just the little space which holds only one character space in each line) and then enter # which result from xyz abc to

'# xyz'

'# abc'

You can add comment lines to the feature files at any place starting the line with the # sign. Be careful however, as comments in the specification are often signs of wrongly specified acceptance criteria.

The comment lines are ignored by SpecFlow.

also, if you want to perform multiline comments in an easy way (on visual studio),

you can select the lines to be commented, and hit CTRL+K+C to comment, CTRL+K+U to Uncomment.
