Question

If anyone knows the name for these types of comments, if one exists, please modify my question.

I frequently see comment blocks such as this:

/**********************************************
 *          Some Important Text Here
 **********************************************/

Sometimes they can look like this:

/**********************************************
  *********  Some Important Text Here  ******* 
 **********************************************/

I’ve also seen them prettier than that.

They seem useful for noting sections of code, and important messages, such as license blocks. But, I feel like there *must* be a “lazy” way of doing this in Visual Studio, or at least an addon, because typing them manually is a pain.

Thanks!

P.S. If this feature or a point-and-click way to do it doesn’t exist, then I know what VS plugin I’m writing next.
