Question

I just began Using the Visual Studio Express 2010 Environment, and I am missing some of the things I came to know and love when programming in Java using Netbeans. Some features I’d like to know how to use/if visual studio has are:

“Shopping for Options”: In Netbeans, when I type “Sting.” a pop down menue appears and lets me know all the options I have that I can put next. Is there any way to get this in studio?

Error Highlighting: Net beans can underline stuff in red when the syntax is wrong, and to some extent explain why. Is there any way to get this in studio?

Auto formatting: Netbeans can fix all the indenting and stuff with a quick click, can visual studio do this?

Answers to any of these questions are greatly appreciated!
