How do I add comment to the ini file ?

I tried a variety without success.

It's not what you think!  The built-in ini-parser may not include the comment.

- In Solution Explorer expand down the AdvancedHMIDrivers project
- Expand down the Common folder
- Right click IniParser.vb and select View Code
- Go to about line 50 and modify it to this:

Code: [Select]

                    If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(strLine) And strLine.Trim.IndexOf(";") <> 0 Then
 
You should now be able to add line comments by starring with a semi-colon

Can this be added to latest versions?

It was supposed to make it into the latest beta version, but got overlooked. It will show up in Beta 37
