That must explain my success rate. I take a *lot* of naps.

BTW, I just noticed in the latest release of Productivity Power Tools has some new stuff on Autobrace completion

Auto Brace Completion
Automatic Brace Completion improves the productivity of writing code by automatically inserting the closing code 
construct when the opening construct is typed for VB & C#.  More specifically, this extension:

Supports the following constructs: (), {}, [], <>, “”, and ‘’. 
Allows you to press <TAB>  to navigate past the next enclosing brace
Allows you to automatically complete a statement in C# by inserting the closing semi-colon
 and moving you to the next line with SHIFT + ENTER

I have found the transition to C# ( and back again - I still develop a big app in VB since that is how it started ) to be almost unnoticeable, after an initial orientation. With Coderush and other add-ins even the bracket and semicolon stuff happens pretty much automatically.

It is definitely a world that motivates one to use C sharp - especially for the Linq lamba syntax. Very hard to find good VB-Linq stuff whereas if you are comfortable with C# there is an amazing wealth of stuff.
