Now, this is interesting, because I tend to use #region more to HIDE THE CRAP (XML documentation etc, long list of attributes etc.) making it easier to see the important code..

I do tend to roll up the properties as well. Since 99% of the time the getters/setters aren’t really doing much in themselves.

e.g.

```
    #region Attributes
    [Browsable(false)]
    [MergableProperty(false)]
    [DefaultValue(null)]
    [PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)]
    [TemplateContainer(typeof(MyType))]
    [TemplateInstance(TemplateInstance.Single)] 
    #endregion
    public ITemplate ContentTemplate
    {
        get { return _temp; }
        set { _temp = value; }
    }

```

Becomes:

```
    Attributes
    public ITemplate ContentTemplate
    {
        get { return _temp; }
        set { _temp = value; }
    }

```

Much nicer :)
