After downloading this macro you simple need to select the text you want to enclose in a region and run the macro. The macro will prompt you to input a name for the region and then surround your selected code with the region.

Kevin wrote to me with this awesome macro which is similiar to the Type Finder macro I mention in the book but with some cool improvements, here is his description of the macro:

“This macro will search through the major assemblies in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) to find the type name selected in the text editor. If the type is found, the fully qualified type name will be expanded in the text editor and a reference to the containing assembly will be added to the active project (if it does not already exist). When more than one type name matches the search text, a dialog box will be displayed with all of the available choices from which the programmer may select the correct class.”
