Question

I could swear I’ve seen people typing function headers and then hitting some key combination to auto-create function braces and insert the cursor between them like so:

void foo()_ 

to

void foo() {     _ } 

Is this a built-in feature?

Answer 1

Check out Resharper – it is a Visual Studio add-on with this feature, among many other development helps.

Also see C# Completer, another add-on.

If you want to roll your own, check out this article. Insane that one should have to do that, though.
