Visual Studio Formatting: how to anchor nested statements

[matthewaveryusa]

Hi,
This is a simple question.
How do I get statements that are nested (so like an if statement inside an if statement) to have the little +/- button so I can collapse it?

thanks,
Matt

I don't think the if statement structure is collapsible.
You can however surround any section of code with #region and #endregion to create a collapsible section.

I tend to keep everything collapsed in a file (control-m, control-o) then only open the part I am working at the time.

If you do something like this...

#region Parse String
... some cool code here
#endregion

#region Rotate Photo
... my nifty routine
#endregion

Each collapsed area will be shown with the region name in grey. Makes it pretty easy to follow the logic of the overall design then concentrate just on the part that interests you at the time.

That's exactly what I'd suggest. What I usually do in my code is make regions for private members, public members, public properties, constructors, event handlers, public methods, and private methods, assuming I need all of them.

That way, everything stays organized.

Thanks guys, That's what I've been using for the past month and it works quite well.
