Question
Saturday, July 29, 2017 3:21 PM
Recently I attempted to collapse large blocks of code, but I noticed that I can't do that, because neither [+] nor [-] boxes appear in the code.
However I do have these collapsible and expandable boxes in C++ projects, unlike C#
I have checked out the Tools settings immediately, but Outlining I see only under Text Editor => C++ => View, but not under C#.
I understood that this is missing extension that I must download and install.
I have already downloaded and installed CSharpOutline.vsix, but I didn't see any change.
Please help me with this problem or else I won't create Visual C# projects in Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise anymore, and all the existing C# projects will be discontinued and deleted after restarted in C++/CLI.
Outlining is essential and necessary for me.
It very helps me to deal with large blocks of code.

Hi friend,
I have checked this default behavior of C# applications in my VS enterprise 2015 with update 3 and default the outline works fine.
Please go to Tools > Options… > Text Editor > C# > Advanced > Outlining and make sure the option “Enter outlining mode when files open” already checked as below, the setting location is different with C++ that you found.
If it is already checked, please go to Control Panel—Programs and Features, right click the VS 2015 and Change-Repair to repair it.
Best regards,
Sara

Have you restarted VS2015 since installing it?

Yes, I did, but still didn't see any change.

Dunno then, it worked well for me with 2015.
FWIW I've just realised that it's not needed with VS2017 - the built-in outliner works with C# now.
