Code Snippet in a Collapsed region.

Question

I am trying to add a code snippet and I want this code to appear in a region. So I tried something like this in the snippet file.

<CodeSnippets
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/2005/CodeSnippet"&gt;
  <CodeSnippet Format="1.0.0">
    <Header>
      <Title>
        rg
        Code Snippet for Region
      </Title>
      <Shortcut>rg</Shortcut>
    </Header>
    <Snippet>
      <References>
        <Reference>
          <Assembly>System.dll</Assembly>
        </Reference>
      </References>
      <Code Language="CSharp">
        <![CDATA[
        #region MyRegion
        // Some Code
        #endregion
        ]]>
      </Code>
    </Snippet>
  </CodeSnippet>
</CodeSnippets>

But when I use the code snippet rg, the region appears as expanded by default like this.

 - #region MyRegion
    // Some Code
    #endregion

Is there any way I can get this region as collapsed by default like this?

 + MyRegion

Answer 1

As far as I know, the insert sippet operation is treated like a normal copy and paste operation. Therefore, I would assume that it is not possible to insert a collapsed region. Especially, as it takes VS some time to recognize it as a region.

Answer 2

<![CDATA[
#region $RegionName$
$selected$ $end$
#endregion
]]>

You can try this and see if it works.
