How to permanently disable region-folding in Visual Studio 2008

Anyone know how to turn off code folding in visual studio 2008? Some of my colleagues love it, but I personally always want to see all the code, and never want code folded out of sight. I'd like a setting that means my copy of Visual Studio never folds #regionsor function bodies. ...

Library for browser based outliner

I'm looking for a free (GPL or BSD-type license) outliner library that works in a browser. It doesn't have to be too complicated, just allow keyboard control of collapsing and expanding items, and changing their order. Anyone know a good library for this? Do any of the big UI component libraries have an outliner? If not, how would I g...

Visual Studio C# statement collapsing

When editing really long code blocks (which should definitely be refactored anyway, but that's beyond the scope of this question), I often long for the ability to collapse statement blocks like one can collapse function blocks. That is to say, it would be great if the minus icon appeared on the code outline for everything enclosed in br...

Is there a way to specify outlining defaults in Visual Studio so that a file opens up with members collapsed by default?

What I would like to do is have VS2008, when I open a code file, collapse all members of the classes/interfaces in the file by default (including, crucially, any XML documentation and comments). I do not want to use regions, at all. I would also like to be able to use the ctrl+m, ctrl+l chord to toggle all member outlining (for example...

EnvironmentEvent macro doesn't complete

I'm working in Visual Studio 2008 and I would like for Edit > Outlining > Collapse to Definitions to be run whenever I open a file. It would be nice if, after that, all regions were expanded. I tried the code that Kyralessa offered in a comment on The Problem with Code Folding, and that works very nicely as a macro that I have to run m...

What tools do you use for outlining projects?

Whenever I start working on projects that are complex enough that I can't keep it all in my head at once I like to outline how the app should work... I usually hack something like this out in a text editor: # Program is run # check to see if database exists # create database # complain on error, exit # ensure...

Visual Studio : exclude outlining from undo/redo stack

Hi, There's something really annoying in Visual Studio : where I expand or collapse a method or code region, this action is pushed on the undo stack. So if I edit some code in a method, then collapse that method, and then want to undo my change, I have to undo twice : once for the collapse action, and once for the change in code. This c...

How to change the outlining hover color in VS 2010?

If i hover over the thin vertical bar on the left, it highlights the entire scope of the block that's to the right. When this scope is large, my entire screen flashes white (a consequence of my custom color scheme). Is there a way to change that color? i don't recall there being one when i made the theme. ...

Outlining in VS2008, C++, not working

I'm using VS2008 (version 9.0.30729.1 SP) and have found that outlining regularly stops working. I get outlining options for the start and end of functions, and for comment blocks, but not for other code blocks, such as ifs, while loops, for loops, etc... Using Reset all settings, as recommended in a similar previous question temporari...
