How do I turn on collapsible regions for markup in .cshtml (razor pages) visual studio 2012?

razor visual-studio-2012 regions

In visual studio 2010 markup in MVC3 and ASPX pages was collapsible (by closing tag) however it does not seem to be working in visual studio 2012. Anyone know how to get it working? I cant find it in the options...

:-)

This worked for me in Visual Studio 2013:

<!-- #region Targets -->

<h1>Targets</h1>

<fieldset>

...

</fieldset>

<!-- #endregion -->

@MatheusMiranda Taken from a forum post "under Tools, Options, Text Editor, C#, Advanced the last option 'Collapse #regions when collapsing to definitions' is not checked. Checking it fixed this issue. It used to be the default" – Conversational 12/12, 2017 at 16:27

Just an FYI - The simple method above works in Visual Studio 2022 as well (an MVC5 project in this case) – Northeasterly 27/10, 2022 at 21:20

This looks like it has already been answered here: Collapse C# block within cshtml and save it However, if you're after automatic collapsing of Razor sections in your cshtml, then it looks like you're out of luck. The usual CTRL-M,M and CTRL-M+CTRL-T chorded shortcuts will work only on the html which you will see have the familiar +/- collapsing indicators on the margin.

Seems to work in Visual Studio 2012

 @* <!-- #region Some Name --> *@
 @* <!-- #endregion --> *@

The question refers to Visual Studio 2012. See question. – Etherify 13/12, 2017 at 16:23

Does the most-voted solution also work? If so, then it's a better solution – Conversational 13/12, 2017 at 19:5

I no longer have VS2012 but at the time the excepted answer did not work in VS2012. Web essentials did not support that syntax until WE 2013 vswebessentials.com/features/html#region What I proposed was a work around that did work in VS2012. – Etherify 14/12, 2017 at 9:52

Highlight your code block.
Right-click
Select "Collapse Tag"

Can we save the collapsed region so that if we restart visual studio, it remembers where we added our own custom tags/outlines/regions? Ctrl+M+H makes a custom collapsible region of the highlighted text but does not remember it on VS restart. – Stoneblind 27/11, 2014 at 9:57

For whatever reason

<!-- #region Targets -->
-- Code Here --
<!-- #endregion -->

did not work. It would not let collapse that region.

What did work was:

@{ #region CommentsSection }
    -- Code Here --
@{ #endregion CommentsSection }
