#Region Directive

Collapses and hides sections of code in Visual Basic files.

#Region "identifier_string"
#End Region

Parts

identifier_string: Required. String that acts as the title of a region when it is collapsed. Regions are collapsed by default.

#End Region: Terminates the #Region block.

Remarks

Use the #Region directive to specify a block of code to expand or collapse when using the outlining feature of the Visual Studio Code Editor. #Region statements support block semantics (such as #If...#End If), meaning that the start and end must be in the same code block.
