How do I make Visual Studio auto generate braces for a function block?

Question :

How do I make Visual Studio auto generate braces for a function block?,

Answer :

I could swear I’ve seen people typing function headers and then hitting some key combination to auto-create function braces and insert the cursor between them like so:

void foo()_  

to

void foo()  {      _  }  

Is this a built-in feature?

The tools look nice (especially Resharper but at $200-350 ouch!) but I ended up just recording a macro and assigning it to ctrl+alt+[

Macro came out like this:

Sub FunctionBraces()      DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.NewLine      DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text = "{}"      DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.CharLeft      DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.NewLine(2)      DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.LineUp      DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Indent  End Sub  

Edit: I used the macro recorder to make this and it wasn’t too bad
