How to comment multiple lines of code/block of code in VB?

' hello world
' this is a comment

Select the lines you need to comment and press keys CTRL+K+C.

''' <summary>
''' GRP Business partner ID
''' </summary>
''' <value></value>
''' <returns></returns>
''' <remarks></remarks>
same thing in C# but type 3 times /
/// <summary>
///
/// </summary>
