Can the .Net IDE do this?

[Hinder]

Is there anyways to HIDE the code I am not working on? Like in the old VB6 IDE, where you can just chose the routine/function you are working with from the top and only have that code portion displayed? I don't like the full page code display even if you can collapse/expand it in the .Net IDE, I just can't get used to it. I looked through the options but I can't find any options that resemble this kind of option. So I'm wondering if it's even an option?

you can use collapsible 'regions' to neatly organise your written code if that's what you mean. Type

#Region "Class Functions"
       public function SomeFunction as string
               return "SomeFunction"
       end function
#End Region
'
#Region "Class Variables"
       private someVar as string
#End Region

and expand/collapse the regions using the plus/minus.

Not that I have seen, but you can also use #region #endregion tags to help combine sections of code for collapse.

Whoooops...just looking at your post again, i get the impression you already know this. I SHOULD really read things through but my attention span is just so sho

DAMN hellswraith...you just destroyed my neatly organised response

I don't believe this is an option, at least it isn't in 2002. Perhaps someone with 2003 can tell us if they added it. They added an option in 2003 to show the method divider lines like vb6.

...I don't believe this is an option

as in regions? yes they are available in 2002

Hmm, Ok I guess I just have to get used to the expand/collapse regions then.. Ah well mabye in the 2004 edition the'll do it

No not regions, the view by Procedure only option from VB6.

Can't you use Edit>Outllining>Hide Selection ?

If I'm not wrong , I've pressed that by mistake..lol . It's an option in outline menu that bookmark a function or sub . (too lazy to try that again )

Yes and No, you can hide it like that but it's just not the same as the VB6 view prodecure feature.. You still get a box [. . .] on that line you hid it and well, and with my self inflicted compulsive obsession disorder It just doesn't match up to the real thing... (grin)
