Just throwing this protip out there for the beginners, I have recently started coding apps again, and forgot you can hide lines of commented out code using { } In VS… Basically: Method something() { { // some old but still useful code // some old but still useful code // some old but still useful code // some old but still useful code } String OtherCodeHere = "SomethingCool"; } And then just click the +/- sign on the top brac…

Just throwing this protip out there for the beginners, I have recently started coding apps again, and forgot you can hide lines of commented out code using

{ 

}

In VS…

Basically:

Method something()
    {
        {
        // some old but still useful code
        // some old but still useful code
        // some old but still useful code
        // some old but still useful code
        }
        String OtherCodeHere = "SomethingCool";
    }

And then just click the +/- sign on the top bracket to hide it all… the one immediately above the commented out code…

I had a typo that caused this to prematurely post lol, trying to indent with Tab key in a browser lol

EDIT

Adding to this, basically, you would find this useful when you need to keep some code present in a method/function but need to try out new code below it or above it but don’t want to keep scrolling or breaking out views.
