Hi Bruce,
You can write your own snippets, as I suggested. VS.NET 2005 even gives you intellisense for the XML schema. It really is simple.
Here's a snippet that you can name, "method.snippet" and place in your My Documents/Visual Studio 2005/Code Snippets folder. Extend
it all you want.
For now it generates the following method stub:
public $return$ $name$()
{
$end$
}
[void] is an input parameter that VS.NET 2005 treats as an input box. Tab through each input box and enter the appropriate data,
with the exception of [end]. Press the 'Enter' key when you are finished filling in the variables. [end] is where the cursor is
placed after you hit 'Enter'.

Thats true, this snippet code may help in If statements...
But what about when we write a new method ? Then we have to write the 2
parenthesis and after the 2 braces...its not possible to let IDE fill it for
us, like in VB.NET right?

up
without even having to restart the IDE.
If your using an older version I think you might be out of luck. Maybe you could write an addin and assign it to a specific
keyboard shortcut, but I'm not sure how difficult that would be.

Does anyone know a way to make the IDE close braces in Ifs statements
(methods also) for C# ?
In VB.NET you have an automatic closing...
