I am new to VS 2003, moving from Borland C++ Builder 5 & 6. Builder's
analogue to Intellisense (CodeCompletion) automatically inserts open and
close parenthesis when a method name is selected from the popup member
list and positions the cursor between them, so that all you have to do
is just start typing your paremeters. Very sweet.

However, I can't get Intellisense to do this in C# and I /really/ miss
it. I RTFM and STFW and did not find anything. Am I overlooking
something, or is this feature not available? If not, are there any IDE
add-ins that offer this?

YUP! I'm in a similar boat to you! I came from JBuilder and love their
Code Insights and the parenthesis insertion and repositioning of the IBar to
allow you to immediately enter your parameters! But I'm told by wiser
people this is not desired in VS. I still do not fully comprehend this, but
I'm still learning.

Unfortunately I'm told this is not coming in VS2k5 either. :< But we can
still hope! :
