#region lets you specify a block of code that you can expand or
collapse when using the outlining feature of the Visual Studio
Code Editor. In longer code files, it is convenient to be able
to collapse or hide one or more regions so that you can focus
on the part of the file that you are currently working on. The
following example shows how to define a region:
Obviously it is useful for the IDE, but if it was not a
language feature then the code would not compile(as it's not a
comment).
From my understanding of the feature, it does the same as
// region
... code to be folded ...
// endregion
An IDE can then read those comments and allow code folding. It
might meet some definition of a language feature, but it is
nothing more than a comment.
I use visual studio and if it was an IDE feature then I could
insert #regions in it and it would compile. This would, of
course, break anyone else code that doesn't use an IDE that
supports it... hence it has to be a language feature(or some
type of meta comment thing, which it is not in this case).
I don't understand how it would break your code.
