Ignore comments in search VS2010 C#

Question

Is there any way to have Find ignore any occurrences of the query that are in a commented line? It's making some find / replace operations very time consuming.

Thanks,

I'm wondering if the root cause of your trouble is that you have a lot of commented out historical code. That is the #1 thing I've seen that produces excessive comment lines. If so, use a proper version control system to preserve it, and then delete the old commented out code. This is a best practice.
