Region directive in VB.NET is used to provide formatting of code. It helps you to build region areas where you can comment your code and then show or hide that entire area/region by using expand and collapse options.
The #Region directive followed by a region name string and ends by #End Region is used to create a region.
The following code snippet uses #Region and #End Region.
Module Module1
#Region "Main Region"
Sub Main()
' Write some code here
End Sub
#End Region
#Region "Other Region"
' Some code goes here
#End Region
End Module
