Hi All:

In VC6 with a little bit of effort it was possible to finding the a closing
block of code " }" from the opening block "{". In this way you can find the
ending brace for a long function definition or if statement. This can be
found in many stand alone code editors. Does VS.Net have this feature and if
so how do use it ?

It's still there in VS.Net. Perhaps your keyboard mapping is such that
the facility is not on the same key as you had it with VC6. It's
normally Ctrl+[, but try using the Keyboard mapping facility in the
IDE settings and search for brace to find what keys (if any) are
currently mapped.
