Comment on XAML Regions: A Visual Studio 2010 Extension by Jacob

Hey spi, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, there are a lot of other plugins out there that expand and collapse all regions that should work with this extension. I know Microsoft’s own Productivity Power Tools is one of them. I feel like if I added that, I would just be duplicating functionality for most people.

Thank you very much for this extensions, it’s very useful !!
I have one question : This is possible to add a button to ‘expand/collapse’ all of the regions, please ? It would be very useful !!

Best regards.

hi, GREAT WORK!
i have de-compiled your code and changed the regex expressions to make a “new” extension to allow collapsing xaml comments.
nowadays when commenting xaml it cannot be collapsed, with this small change to your original code, it is now possible!

here is the new regex:
private readonly Regex _startRegionText = new Regex(““, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

would you please post it?

Hi Jackob,
this is a very interesting tutorial. Unfortunatly the project seems to be unstable and VisualC#2010Expres crashes. How come?
This strated to happen when I resized the Dock property control to “Fill” and this beavior contiued even if I restored the property to None.
I removed also all logic coding just to understand if the reasons was in it. Nothing.
After a debug the program started to run correctly, but I didn”t do anything, neither corrections, nor adds.
I wonder if you know the reasons.
Cheers
M.

Thank you! I was getting fed up with not being able to launch XBMC with my remote! Now I can! And it’s such a small program! 6k install!
