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

      Yeah afer all thats exactly what my clients expects me to do from their "few fuzzy directives"

          ... 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 :^)

          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.

              God no, I want to write my own code and not an editor to write it for me. The VS team can add the feature as long as they give the option to disable it :laugh:

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

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

                      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.

                            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.)

                                I actually rarely wrap lines. The only time I do is when I'm calling a method with a ton of parameters, or variable parameters like String.Format, or if I write a really funky long logic expression. That's about it tho; I always import namespaces rather than reference them directly unless there's a conflict.

                                  Yeah. The problem is an "insert semicolon on enter" feature will irritate you more for the times it does it wrong than make you feel good for the times it does it wrong. A lot of things in life are like that. Gravity really annoys me but I'd bet if it went into a sulk and switched off for being under-appreciated I'd quickly realise how good it is.

                                    I reckon writing a code-wrapping algorithm could not be terribly hard, so long as things were properly indented.

                                      LOL Gravity doesn't bother me so much, so long as I have a comfy chair. :) I agree the semicolon on enter thing would not work out, I was thinking more along the lines of "press enter after each statement" or, when you think about it, a "newline after semicolon" would probably be about as good. Personally, I don't even care about hitting enter after a semicolon, the problem I have is that semicolons are required in the first place, but I don't want to start a flamewar about it. I just think there are better ways to end a statement. Like using a special character/keystroke in the odd circumstance to continue a line (like shift-Enter), rather than using a certain character always to end a statement. But then that's not what the OP was asking about, so no point starting up on that.

                                        LOL Gravity doesn't bother me so much, so long as I have a comfy chair. :) I agree the semicolon on enter thing would not work out, I was thinking more along the lines of "press enter after each statement" or, when you think about it, a "newline after semicolon" would probably be about as good.

                                        I code in Ruby, I am happy without semicolons. Though I do plenty of JavaScript too which is annoyingly silent on forgotten semicolons. Most of the time it doesn't matter but the odd time it does is the hardest bug to track down.

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