How to collapse code blocks in VB.NET or C# (VS.NET 2k3)
Hi,
Quick question.. is there anyway to collapse loops, if statements, etc in VB.NET? What about C#? I'd be very surprised if this was possible in C++ but not in these 2 languages, but it seems thats how it is by default... anyone know how to turn this on?
Thanks.
The The VS beta supports code collapsing, and with Visual Assist [by Whole Tomato Software, I believe...finding a link shouldn't be too hard] you can get it in previous versions.
Several alternative IDEs support it as well. I think Eclipse does, for instance.

If nothing else, you can use manually specified regions to do the same thing.
Don't know what VB's syntax is, but I'm sure it exists.
But maybe you already know such things exist, since you were asking specifically about code blocks, and were probably looking for automatic collapsing ability. I unfortunately can't help you with that.
[edit]I should note that I do not know if this works with 2003; I've skipped from 6.0 to 2005 beta, so that's all I know about.[/edit]

I know that in VS.NET 2003, code collapsing works with C++, just not with VB.NET or C#... this gets very annoying since I'm so spoiled by the collapsing in C++... VB.NET is ugly enough as it is, why the hell can't I collpase the code? [grin]. Anyway, just trying to clear up, are you confirming that it doesn't work w/ VB.NET in 2k3? Or ...

Thanks for the reply... yeah, I know thats possible, but I'd much rather be able to automatically collpase loops and if statements, it comes in handy and can actually prevent bugs...
I'm finding it VERY hard to believe that I can collapse ifs and loops in C++ but not in the other, high level languages!!! Google is not helping me and I know this must be possible...
Thanks for any more help.
