is there any way to get .net to show seperation lines between subs, like in vb6?

like that?

lol

I mean automatically, its sort of a pain to add **************************** between every sub you have.

I assume VB.NET has some kind of documentation feature like C# (maybe?). In C# you can add /// comments. If you add them above a function, it automatically scans the parameters and creates little sections for them in your comments. Later, you can build documentation from those comments.

Why am I mentioning this? Hopefully just about every function you have has at least a one line comment to describe its general purpose and intended use. If so, those comment blocks are a great way to see where one function ends and another begins.

You can also set up Regions in code, which are collapsable areas of code.

I know I didnt answer your question, but... I used VB for years and loved the function separater and loved it. I missed it for awhile but didnt find a way to get it back (not in VS 1.0). But after about a week, I didnt miss it anymore. It might be back in VS 1.1 but I havent looked.

i just find it hard to believe, with .net as customizable as it is, a lack of vb6 environment legacy :-\

tools->Options->Text Editor->Basic->VB Specific->Show procedure line seperators.

Only works for VB though not C#.

Not available on my vb.net 1.0 standard edition.

guess that means its only there in VS 2003

It is so much handier to use regions IMO.

The item PlausiblyDamp mentioned is available in the VB.NET 2003 Standard edition. It is the version I am using to learn VB.NET from and I just checked and it is there and actually it is checked by default. I know it is checked by default as I have made it a point not to change any of the settings just so I can always tell how things are set at install time.
