  • 0

Is there a setting in Visual Studio 2008 that I can turn on which would generate a matching closing brace for a opening brace?

EDIT: I would imagine that an IDE as powerful as Visual Studio would have this very useful feature.

EDIT: Is there a macro that can be written? From the responses I have received it looks like ReSharper is the only option. I don’t want to have to ask my company to invest in the ReSharper tool, I work for a rather large enterprise and getting anything approved from procurement is not an easy task.

EDIT: I am using VS 2010 Ultimate. The Power Tools and Power commands now do everything I was looking for in this post.

    I use ReSharper. It does a whole lot more besides just the closing brace. The only downside is it’s not free. But give it a try. The code analysis is worth the price anyway.
