How to Add REGION in Visual Studio in aspx Files

Question

I use asp.net with code behind and c#.

So I have two file for every .aspx page in VS 2010.

In .aspx.cs page I am able to add regions in my code using:

#region Name Region
#endregion

My questions:

• How to do it in file .aspx? #region seems working only in .cs file.
• Do you know any other useful tag to help me to organize better my code both for .aspx and .cs file?
• Do you know the keyboard shortcuts to expand or collapse all my region in my code?

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

Do you know the keyboard shortcuts to expand or collapse all my region in my code?

Here are some key chords for you.

Ctrl-M Ctrl-O will collapse all the regions in the opened document (or the highlighted section).

Ctrl-M Ctrl-M will collapse or open the collapsible section the cursor is on.

Ctrl-M Ctrl-L will collapse or open everything.

Now here is one i use frequently, especially in javascript files: highlight some code, then press Ctrl-M Ctrl-H to hide it, which will produce a little expander +- next to the collapsed code. Press Ctrl-M Ctrl-O to expand it again.

Also see this blog post by Scott Guthrie which details some posters you can download with lots of the VS shortcut key combinations on them.
