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 :^)

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

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. :-)
Life, family, faith: Give me a visit. From my latest post: "And you think, 'To keep my anti-Judaic theology alive I must reinterpret this verse too as being a blessing for Christians and not for Jews. I know it strains all manner of principles of interpretation. I don’t read the newspaper this sloppily, but, man, I have a theology to defend.'" Judah Himango
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!

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.

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

I would like to see it autoname my variables...I sure they can figure out what I want the variable for :laugh:
For a small fee a will write that for providing you are happy with var1, var2, var3 etc :laugh:

it's so 3rd millenium, ppff.... I'd like VS to write the code for me from a few fuzzy directives!
A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station.... _________________________________________________________ My programs never have bugs, they just develop random features.
Yeah afer all thats exactly what my clients expects me to do from their "few fuzzy directives"

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

VS studio inserting closing tags still irritates me to this day; please don't encourage THEM to second guess what a coder intends to do.

I'll concur with that, too! -CB ;)

Can you write a plug-in for VS that will do that for you, or is VS not extensible that way? Just curious. Kalvin

a few fuzzy directives
Isn't that why we have fuzzy logic systems? :P

I'm sick of semicolons too;

Good coders wrap lines of code :)

Of course, better coders don't write long lines of code that need to be wrapped :-D (Though if you are in the .NET world then I don't see how you can write three lines before having to wrap. All those namespaces and class structures.)

Not even good editors know where to wrap and we are back to the original problem ;)
