This is probably the least interesting screenshot I've ever shared
and this one is only slightly more remarkable
Yes, it's the same method from the same file.
But, did you spot the difference?
It's only small.
Look at the left margin.
There are more of the little outlining boxes with minus signs in them in the second image.
The first image is the default behavior. It shows something I hadn't noticed before.
By default, in a method, only multi-line comments starting with a triple-slash can be collapsed.
And the second screenshot?
Well, it turns out that as I wrote a Visual Studio extension that works with comments, these are the kind of things I learn.
As such the second screenshot shows a minor feature of the latest version (1.8) of that extension. It now lets Visual Studio know how to collapse (and expand) multi-line comments within method blocks. (That's not a piece of code I ever imagined writing!)
Additionally, it also:
- fixes a bug in how it identifies which block to expand and collapse.
- fixes a bug that affects anyone who uses tabs instead of spaces.
Now go: download, install and review the extension for yourself.
