Find matching End If for If?

[MikeOtown]

Is there a way to easily find the matching End If statement for an If statement?

usually i'll place the mouse cursor on the 'I' of the the If statement then i'll press the PageDown key on the keyboard until i reach the End If where the 'E' is lined up with the mouse cursor

1) Install the free SlickEdit tools, one of which draws a vertical dashed line throught he i-bar and all lines.. you can see which lines are on the same indent level

2) Use C#, the start { or end } of a block is automatically highlighted when the related end } or start } is being "touched" by the I-bar cursor

Indentation, indentation, indentation.

This goes for everything including HTML code... and it will help you tremendously especially if you troubleshoot HTML code.

This is one of the things I like about the verbose VB syntax - "End If" is more helpful than "}".

But MikeOtown is right, this is a very helpful editing feature that is present in many text editors nowadays but it is still missing from VS (although it seems to be there for C#, according to cjard).

CodeRush is a fantastic add-in that has great code editor features. You can also try CodeSmart, another one of my favorites.

If you keep to the programming mantra that you shouldnt have blocks of code longer than one screen, it becomes less of an issue.. Though addmittedly you will very occasionally see my C# code look like:

      } //while x>10
    } //if enabled
  } //for i 
}//method()
