I will even comment the obvious, so the code has a nice flow when reading (and so I can skip over sections that I'm not interested in). For example, I might comment this:
C#
// Variables.
int x = 0;
int y = 7;
int z = 100;
int result;


// Calculate the blah blah.
result = x + y + z;


That way, I know to skip immediately over the "variables" section.
