Inline syntax checking .. expand #region #endregion

[jr123]

Hi

I have disable "Inline syntax checking" in the Editor but still after type in any wrong code or even not complety code all #region #endregion parts expand and the line jumps to another place. This is really a bad behavior. How can i change this " auto expand regions " part ?

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

In this case, I could only suggest that you either dont use Regions in the specific case that you are now or you could use an outside editor such as Visual Studio. If you have a sample that reproduces the problem I could review the sample and see if there is anything that can be changed in the script to prevent that from happening also.

There are some known limitations surrounding regions and the NinjaScript editor (actipro syntax editor). NT8 does have a newer version of the editor so it is possible that going forward the regions as you have them now will work as you expect. I could suggest trying the same general region setup in NT8 if you have it installed and if there is a problem I could submit a bug report along with your sample.




I look forward to being of further assistance.

Sorry, wrong Forum. I use NT8 and i have this problem with NT8.

I must use #region #endregion
Without this nobody can read > 5000 lines code...

one example :
i just type " if "
and after 100 ms the inline syntax checking realized :
this code is wrong and expands the next full region

of course this is wrong, but i am still working on the "( ) " after if.

why there is a "Inline Syntax Checking" enable/disable box ?
This box should be disable this behavior or not ?

Hello,

Thank you for clarifying, I will move your post to the correct forum.

In this case, if you have a sample I could review it and see if anything could be done surrounding how the region is currently being used in that script. As Visual studio is now fully supported I would suggest using that over the NinajScript editor especially if you have a large code base. You can download the community edition for free at Microsoft's website.

Another approach would be to utilize the features of C# structure to break the script into smaller scripts preventing the need for regions altogether. As the platform compiles all items in the custom folder together you are free to create multiple .cs files that are interconnected like a standard C# application. Moving utility methods or syntax you have in your current script into external scripts would help reduce its size.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
