    ... 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 :^)

    Write your code in Visual Basic, that way you don't have to worry about the unnecessary punctuation :)

        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.

                    Another vote for Resharper which does alot of good things, but actually it's braces, spaces and semi colons are a pain in the ass when you first start using it cause you're so used to doing them yourself.

                      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

                            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.

                            Rational Application Studio auto-inserts closing braces for java. It can get really annoying..

                              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.
