#region functionality in SSMS 2008
There is an add-in for SSMS called SSMS Tools Pack. It lets you use #region / #endregion http://www.ssmstoolspack.com/Features?f=9
I develop SSMSBoost add-in (www.ssmsboost.com) for SSMS and have added
--#region [name]
--#endregion
syntax support in last version (2.12). There is also an option to auto-parse opened files, so that regions will be displayed immediately.
Yes, there is native support in SSMS 2008 on, without any addins. The regions are defined by:
- From first GO command to next GO command.
- Statements between BEGIN – END, BEGIN TRY – END TRY, BEGIN CATCH – END CATCH
- Multiline statements
