VS.Net 2003 "Build Comment Web Page" tools

[Feng Chun]

I used this tool to generate the documentation pages for my project. but
there is a line "<!-- From Microsoft url=(0007)http:// -->" at the top of
each page generated. This would cause the page be put into a "Restricted
Zone" under Windows XP with Sp2 patched. Then all the frames, etc, couldn't
be viewed under this zone. I have to write a program to remove this line for
all pages generated. Any walkaround for this?

Hi Feng Chun,

I used this tool to generate the documentation pages for my project.
but there is a line "<!-- From Microsoft url=(0007)http:// -->" at the top
of each page generated.

The tag in question here is called the "Mark of the Web". IE adds the Mark
of the Web to web pages that are saved from the internet. This way IE can
detect that the content was originally from the internet zone and it should
be treated as such. In this instance, the page was not saved from the
internet but Visual Studio used http:// to force it to the internet zone.

VS.NET IDE will add this tag automatically when you Build Comment Web Page
with your project/solution, this behavior is by design and unable to be
skipped, one workaround is to do a Find and Replace to change the tag in
the documentation.

For more detailed information about this this issue, please refer to the

Hi, Gary Chang,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have searched web found that this so called
"Mark of the Web" cause the problem. And I have done the same thing as the
blog you provided. I just wondering VS team or IE team would come out a
patch to solve this issue, because I thought it is an inconsistent problem
between the two teams.

Best Regards,
Feng Chun

Hi Feng Chun,

..., I just wondering VS team or IE team would come out a
patch to solve this issue, because I thought it is an inconsistent
problem between the two teams.

yes, this will bring the inconvenience to the developers that use this
feature in Windows XP SP2 platform. I will forward your feedback to the
corresponding product team. There is currently not a specific hotfix to
cover this problem, but keep an eye out for it in the future. We are
looking at continual improvement, and it's this kind of feedback that let
us know what things you're trying to do, that we haven't yet provide for
you.


Thanks for your concern on our product!
