Code Blocks using { }

[ac246]

Hi, i am trying to learn how to use the { and } symbols to make my code look a lot neater.

i tried putting the following but it comes upwith a syntax error when compiling

{Block1:
Code here
Return
}

i would like it to have looked like.. (when blocks collapsed)

+ Block1:
+ Block2:
+ Block3:

But it comes up with an error so i am having to change it to

Block1:
{
Code here
Return
}

this gives me

Block1:
+ Unnamed Region
Block2:
+ Unnamed Region
Block3:
+ Unnamed Region

does anyone know how to name a region or is there any other way of making it look like in my second code block so it just shows the sub name?

Many Thanks
Aaron

{ has been replaced by #region in PE6

#region "This is the more code area"
more code
more code
#endregion

Is the purpose of this function only cosmetic? (to hide large chunks of code and make it easier to read)
?

On the basis of all the other languages I've coded with, the answer would be yes.
