In C# code it allows the #regionuse of #region/#endregion#endregion keywords to mademake areas of code collapsible in the editor. Whenever I am doingdo this though I finddo it is to hide large chunks of code that could probably be refactored into other classes or methods. For example I have seen methods that contain 500 lines of code with 3 or 4 regions just to make it manageable.

So is judicious use of regions a sign of trouble? It seems to be so to me.

Are #regions an antipattern or code smell?
