If you find it inside a function: that is a "code smell" for bad code!

Region means Territorizing your code. Which means if i say something like below:

#region log

some code

#endregion

If you minimize the above region you will observe that only the name "log" appears. This shows the developer that only log related code is present in this territory.

I have thousands of lines of code, then how do i pick only the relevant code which i want to work on and let us say that the developer who wrote the code is on leave. So in this case you will have a night mare reading all unwanted code which you dont even want to touch.

See, even classes give you good isolation, but within the class too you might want to separate out the functionality to avoid confusion.

Hence region helps maintain the code.

Thanks and Regards,
