I remember seeing (many months ago now) an MSDN vidio on the new features of
VS 2005 IDE.

for C#, one of them automatically added a pair of braces following key
words or there was a way to insert a pair of braces (opening and closing),
one or the other.

Can that be done and where in the docs are features such as this described?

Thanks,

Dennis

Hi Dennis,

yes, this is a new feature of VS2005, you can invoke it by pressing CTRL+K,
CTRL+S to use surround-with code snippets in the code editor.

Please refer to the following MSDN doc for the details:

How to: Use Surround-with Code Snippets

Thanks!
