Quick question, and I hope I’m using the right terminology 🙂

I’m using Visual Studio 10. Is there a keyboard shorcut for splitting an empty element tag?

For example, I want to turn:

<element />

into:

<element></element>

quickly. This is just a minor nuisance, but editing XAML, for a beginner like me, is very time consuming. I spend a lot of time just splitting up tags to add attributes. I was just hoping there was some sort of shortcut in VS for this.

Thanks!
Jerry

    Resharper does it, but I don’t think VS can do it out of the box…

    Anyway, there’s a quick way to split a tag: delete the closing sequence (“/>”), and just add an closing angled bracket (“>”): VS will automatically create the closing tag
