#34 Cut and Paste Collapsed code in Visual Studio
Tuesday, February 10 2009
Outlining is a very popular feature of Visual Studio. Outlining is the [+] sign you see in Visual Studio on the left margin that lets your collapse and expand code. What happens if you select 3 visual lines of code, and the middle line of code is acutally a collapsed region? Watch this video to find out :)
Visual Studio Tip / Trick #034 English Transcription:
Today’s visual studio trick of the day trick No. 34 was originally brought to you by Sara Ford September 11, 2007. Today’s trick is cut and paste a collapsed block of code. So many places on Visual Studio you can collapse your
code and while that is collapsed if you select a single line that is effecting the entire block so we are on lines 5-10; I will expand this that all of our lines. But now
if I cut this, I have in fact cut all 5 lines now I go from 5 to 6 and if I go to bottom that file and paste. You will see that paste the entire block of code. The same thing is true for drag and drop. So if something highlight I can move that line up and down, it will move the entire block of code.

video is corrupt, ends prematurely
@memals,
Thank you for the feedback. The video feels like it ends prematurely, but that really is the end. I'll be more careful in the end of videos to give a second or two of silence as to not sound like it's being chopped off.
Again, Thank you for the feedback.
