How bad...
-
... would it be for orthodox programmers' mental health if VS automatically added semicolons and bracers where needed while coding in C#? Would it surely destroy the 'essence' of programming? Because it'd make me quite happy :^)

Suck it up. You've got punctuation fatigue.

That would totally suck. It would constantly add them where you don't want them. How can it tell where you want braces ? Semicolons would also not be fool proof.

If it was possible to do what you wanted correctly there would be no need for the punctuation in the first place. The fact taht it can't be guessed with 100% accuracy is why you have to insert them manually.

They've got auto parenthesis in Netbeans(Java) and it sucks pretty terribly.

Standard functionality in a programmer's editor. I'm still hauling CodeWright around, but Visual Slick Edit and others also offer this and more. Writing code in an IDE isn't that far removed from using Notepad. :)

ReSharper, and other aids do stuff like that. Wonderful. :rose:

The ReSharper add-in has an option for this. I really didn't like it and ended up turning it off. My fingers type the semicolon without using the brain. :-)

WholeTomato VisualAssist handles adding braces quite well, even though it CAN be distracting sometimes. As for semicolons, I don't know if I want them.

I would like to see it autoname my variables...I sure they can figure out what I want the variable for :laugh:

it's so 3rd millenium, ppff.... I'd like VS to write the code for me from a few fuzzy directives!

TextMate and most text-editors I've used do matching parentheses and tags and does it reasonably well. It doesn't do semi-colons though, I doubt it would know when you are finished a line of code accurately enough to be useful.

Hi, you're talking about syntax here. so i guess switching to another language like Basic could be a solution. :-) To me a good designer should write code for the you, design everything in designtime and only add minimal code for specific functions. Greetz Kurt

Yeah, once you try Resharper, just semicolons and parentheses become very small part in editor features :). But yeah, it takes time to get used to, and to stop getting used to as well! For me, it was really painful at beginning. I ended up adding duplicate semicolons and having to delete them instead of just writing one! After a while, it became just the nature of things. I learned what to expect and then stopped thinking about it while typing. The funny thing is that when I sat on VS without Resharper later, it was really painful to miss all the functionality there. This is the problem with non standard tools!

Good point apart from the fact that the ; is not unnecesary in the same way that the _ isn't in VB :)
The only thing unpredictable about me is just how predictable I'm going to be.
