Collapsing braces in Visual Studio 2013 Express IDE

Question

I know there is an extension for this in Visual Studio. However, is anyone aware of a similar extension or setting for Visual Studio Express editions? Something that will allow me to collapse: ``` if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(hotel.bg3)) { colspan += 1; TableCell c3 = new TableCell(); c3.Text = hotel.bg3.Replace(" ", "
"); c3.Style.Value = "border-color: #333333; border-width: 1pt; border-style: none none solid none; font-weight:bold;"; c3.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Center; row.Controls.Add(c3); } ``` to: ``` if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(hotel.bg3)) {...} ``` Thank you, Mark

Accepted Answer

Select the code you want to collapse and hit Ctrl+M and then Ctrl+H. You can also right click on the selection and select Outlining > Hide Selection. To unhide, hit Ctrl+M and then Ctrl+U or right click on the collapsed code and select Outlining > Stop Hiding Current.

It's also worth noting that Express editions of Visual Studio don't support extensions at all.
