When I was doing C# code reviews at first in VS 2012 I was getting a side by side comparison of the old and new code.
However now I am getting all code in the same window with red lines for old code and green lines for new code.
I cannot find the option to change this back to a difference window.
I know this is a simple issue but any help will be greatly appreciated!
There should be a button on the toolbar like this one that will let you select the 4 different "diff modes".
You can also use the following keyboard shortcuts:
Ctrl+\, Ctrl 1 - Inline
Ctrl+\, Ctrl 2 - Side-by-side
Ctrl+\, Ctrl 3 - Left Only
Ctrl+\, Ctrl 4 - Right Only
to change the view.
Below screenshot will help in setting the option to compare side by side.

Visual Studio (2019) The plus / minus box on side of screen no longer appears so that I can minimize blocks of code that I comment out
Here is an image where the plus bar shows up where I have minimized my code for a function
but I have nothing showing up for the /* that is later in the picture
Edit:
Apparently, The comments will minimize outside the c# classes and methods but not inside them:Commentable Code vs UnCommentable Code
If there is a way to change this please post an answer!
You could set Collapset in Tools->Environment->Keyboard.
Ctrl + M, Ctrl + O: Collapse all in the document
Ctrl + M, Ctrl + M: expand/collapse at the caret
Ctrl + M, Ctrl + L: expand all documents
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> Advanced
Is this checkbox checked?
Show outlining for comments and preprocessor regions
Here is what I have in my VS 2017. Do you use any add-ins that may interphere?
NEW OBSERVATION:
The comment outlining works at the global scope, namespace and class, but NOT in the method!
C# style comments (triple slash ///) work in methods, too.
How do I disable auto-indentation feature/bug? (Xamarin 6.11, Mac)
Note: <CURSOR HERE> designates position of cursor and not actual code.
Here are my steps:
I place my cursor as shown:
I press ENTER:
I type my declaration and jump to beginning hoping to fix indentation:
I press BACKSPACE:
Pressing ENTER again at this point brings me back to step 3.
Please help, it's driving me nuts!
Oh yes, changing indentation in Preferences->Code Formatting->C# ... does not affect the behavior, even with restart.
See: https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/2509/incorrect-auto-formatting-of-c-code-for-specific-functions
Look down to where it says Text Editor -> Behavior.
There is an option named "Enable on the fly code formatting"; You may want to disable this if you wish to format your own codes.
There is also the Smart Indentation mode in Behavior you might want to turn off.
Actually, I am have designed an application using WindowsUI(MetroUI) with TileContainers.
Now,My problem is that : I have a text in TextBox and I have selected the text and want to copy it with mouse right click other than ctrl+c.(Because my clients are not aware of the shortcuts).
So,When I'm rightclicking on the textbox with mouse,the TileContainer WindowsUIButtons are sliding from top of the page.
Is there any chance of getting that?
sorry for my bad english :)
If I understand your question correctly then you could just use a Context Menu.
See this URL for a step by step process on doing exactly what it sounds like you are wanting.
Hope this helps.
If i have the following
#region
blah;
blahblah;
.....
moar;
#endregion
how can i jump to the top #region label if i see the #endregion tag on my screen?
Is there a short cut?
Ctrl+] will jump between the start and end of blocks. I just tested, and it works for #region blocks for me in VS2010.
Edit: The relevant command is Edit.GoToBrace
The answer is Ctrl + ] as already answered by #TheEvilPenguin.
But I thought to add this awesome link for other shortcuts as well, which can be helpful in speeding up routine tasks in VS.
Save the link page as html in your system, as the link might expire in future.
For Visual Studio 2015, Ctrl + ] doesn't work anymore. But you can use the following:
Click on region
And use following shortcuts: Ctrl + shift + ↑ and Ctrl + shift + ↓
I don't believe there's a standard shortcut in Visual Studio.
Within Visual Studio's options dialog, I did a search through all available commands for anything containing the word "region":
But didn't find anything related to navigation, just expand/collapse.
Addins like Resharper and CodeRush may give you what you want, if you have the budget for it. (And they do a lot more besides.)
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.
Edit: I recommend this other answer
Go to the Tools->Options menu.
Go to Text Editor->C#->Advanced. Uncheck "Enter outlining mode when files open".
That will disable all outlining, including regions, for all c# code files.
The accepted answer turns off ALL code folding. If you want to disable #region folding but collapse comments, loops, methods, etc I wrote a plugin that does this for you.
Make #regions suck less (for free):

Auto Expand regions when a file is opened
Optionally prevent regions from being collapsed (but still be able to collapse other code)
Give the #region / #end region lines a smaller, lighter background so they are less noticeable (also an option)
Works in C# and VB (but only in VS 2010/2012, not supported for 2008)
You can also disable region-wrapping on generated code (like when you use the Visual Studio shortcut to auto-implement an interface).

Options / Text Editor / C# / Advanced / Enter outlining mode when files open
It's not permanent, but the keystrokes Ctrl-M Ctrl-L expand the regions in a file
Also, a quick way to toggle expand/collapse of all regions is: CTRL + M + L
I've posted an answer in a related-but-not-duplicate thread that may help some people here. I detailed how to create macros that will deactivate a single unit's #regions by commenting out the #region and #endregion directives, with a companion for reactivating them. With the #regions deactivated the Ctrl+M+O / Collapse to Definitions function does exactly what I want it to. I hope this is useful for someone beside myself.
Shortcut to collapse to definitions except regions
This option seem to be available only in C# and not in C/C++ (Visual Studio 2005). To disable outlining in C/C++ files you need to make a trick by changing the outlining color to editor's background color. To do this go to Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors > Collapsible Text > Change "Item Foreground" color to White (or whatever your background color is).
i resolved the problem for me with an environmentevent:
start macroeditor (alt+f11)
open macroproject / EnvironmentEvents
paste the follwing code:
Private Sub DocumentEvents_DocumentOpened(ByVal Document As EnvDTE.Document) Handles DocumentEvents.DocumentOpened
If (Not Document Is Nothing) Then
If (Document.FullName.ToLower().EndsWith(".cs")) Then
Try
DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.ExpandAllOutlining")
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End If
End If
End Sub
Private Sub WindowEvents_WindowActivated(ByVal GotFocus As EnvDTE.Window, ByVal LostFocus As EnvDTE.Window) Handles WindowEvents.WindowActivated
If (Not GotFocus Is Nothing) Then
If (Not GotFocus.Document Is Nothing) Then
If (GotFocus.Document.FullName.ToLower().EndsWith(".cs")) Then
Try
DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.ExpandAllOutlining")
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End If
End If
End If
End Sub
